No if you have elected to bypass the check, the unit will still download and install the firmware. If you have admin rights, you won't even be asked this question. >>> paulh52@xxxxxxxxxxx Wednesday, March 23, 2005 3:55:59 PM >>> Hi, Larry. The only thing that worries me here is that I didn't even know there was a chkdsk much less how to use it until I read about it on this list. If the card will be checked anyway if I press okay, than that works for me. I assume that if I press okay, that the card will be checked if I have administrative rights? What if I press okay and don't have administrative rights?Will it just bring up the message again?
