NTFS 3.0 corrupting ability to use NTWKST 4.0 chkdsk ...

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.file_system (More info?)

You have a point, but wrapping it up in the vitriol is
not really going to endear many to try an answer.

I could say, well if you read the release notes of the
Service Pack you would have been aware of the changes
that it would make to NTFS.

Perhaps your employer should sue you if your responsible
for installing the Service Pack, for what is, at best,
incompetence or worst, criminal negligence.

Or I could be helpful, but.....
