List output is not assigned to a device
[Print]
■ When you first type the Print command, ms-dos asks you what
device you want to specify as a printer. This message appears
if Print is set up for a device that does not exist.
Lock violation reading (or writing) drive x:
[MS-DOS]
■ This is a device error. See Appendix D, "Disk and Device
Errors."
x lost cluster(s) found in y chains
Convert lost chains to files (Y/N)?
[Chkdsk]
■ Chkdsk displays this message if it finds information on the
disk that isn't allocated properly in the disk's File Allocation
Table.
If you type Y in response to this prompt, chkdsk recovers the
lost blocks it found when checking the disk. Chkdsk then
creates a proper directory entry and a file for each lost chain
with the filename of the fotm.filennnn.chk. If you did not
specify the /f switch, chkdsk displays: "x bytes would be
freed." If you type N, chkdsk frees the lost blocks so that they
can be reallocated and does not recover any data that was in
those lost blocks. If you did not specify the /f switch, chkdsk
does nothing.
