I have a very small server that handles web
pages
and a bit of filestore space. This runs on windows 98 lite and runs
like
the clappers on a meager Cyrix 180Mz processor.
I want to leave it with windows 98 as it has
been
really stable and is no hassle at all to configure. It sits in my
loft and
is connected to my asdl router. I'm really happy with
it.
Last night in Milton Keynes we had the mother
and
father of all thunderstorms. Best one I ever saw. It made
my sky digital go mad and my adsl connection drop and then some
brown
power reset all of the computers in the house. (tivo tried admirably
to
cope recording something for me at the time but I even had to reboot that
as it
too had a bit of a nervous breakdown.)
Anyway my loft server tried to reboot itself
and
and went straight into scan disk, and found some lost clusters on the disk
and
then just stopped there waiting for me to press ok. Of course this
was at
dos so I couldnt netmeeting or vnc into it to say go ahead, so I had to
climb
the ladder and press any key.
So my question (after too much background
really)
is how can you make a 98 pc do an unattended scandisk after an impropper
shutdown (Or indeed just do no scandisk at all)
Is it possible? Any one done
this?
(before any one mentions it yes I did have a
linux
box doing this before and yes it probably is more stable, however it didnt
work
correctly with the hardware I've got in the box (probably because of my
ineptitude) I am running apache on it and not pws
though....)
