PortableApps.com Platform 2.0 (codename: Leo) Beta 5, Win 7 (64 bit).
I get a nastygram about chkdsk when I try to run 'check disk for errors'
Win 7 doesn't like any of the old DOS stuff. Is this related?

Here is the report I get on my Win 7 (64-bit) system when I run "Check Drive For Errors" from Version 2.0 Beta 5 Pre 2:

A DOS box pops up with:

If you're using one of those odd Windows lite builders, it won't work. That's one possibility.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Standard Windows 7, 64 bit home premium version. I am not smart enough to modify the operating system.
