Disk error reading FAT parameter

Explanation:

The Chkdsk command could not read one of the two file allocation tables on a FAT partition. The partition is still usable, because one of the file allocation tables can still be read. However, if the other file allocation table goes bad, the partition will be unusable.

User Action:

Use the Chkdsk command with the /f option to correct the problem in the FAT partition. If you still get this message with a hard disk, back up any information you can and reformat the disk.
