Check Partition Tables–verifies partition tables, that define the
partitions subdividing a physical drive into more than one logical drive.
Check File Dates + Times–verifies that dates and times associated with
files are valid. In Windows 95, Disk Minder verifies the Created,
Modified, and Accessed date and time stamps.
Check Host Drive First–checks the physical drive where DriveSpace or
DoubleSpace compressed volume files are stored. Then it checks the
compressed volume files, or logical disks.
Check for Valid File Names–verifies that file names use acceptable
characters. Valid characters for file names are numbers 0-9, letters A-Z,
and basic symbols excluding the backslash ( \ ), greater than ( > ), less
than ( < ), colon ( : ), double quotations ( " ), and bar or pipe ( | ). Disk
Minder for Windows 95 also checks long file names as well as short file
names that follow the 8.3 file name convention.
Check for Non-ANSI File Names–finds any non-ANSI file names. All
characters are uniquely numbered from 0 through 255. Two standards
exist for numbering characters: ANSI and IBM ASCII. Windows uses
ANSI, and characters that appear on both numbering systems are
automatically translated by Windows to their ASCII equivalents for use
in file names, which must be stored in ASCII.
NOTE: Disable this option when running under an international
version of Windows that uses extended ASCII characters.
