I've got a K6 system dual booting to Win98Se and DOS 6.22/3.1. The disk is an IDE -> SD card.
The DOS partition boots up and operates correctly every time.
The Win98 will boot all the way to the desktop - every time - but with the disk light constantly running. After a minute or so, I will get a blue screen with "Unable to write to disk in drive C:"
Every single time, if I reboot into safe mode - where the error does not occur - then from safe mode reboot to normal mode, it will run perfectly fine until I shut down. Then, every time, the error will occur again when booting up the next time. Safe mode -> normal mode gets it working again until shut down, and the pattern repeats.
The only thing I've tried so far is scandisk/chkdsk, which as I sort of expected didn't turn up any problems. There would seem to be something happening during shutdown that is causing a problem which is being corrected with Safe mode, but I have no idea where to begin in terms of figuring out what it may be.
Any ideas?
