I used the MDISKCHK.COM version you made some months ago:
http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/sha0/syslinux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/mdiskchk_enhanced

which as far as I can see is the same as the one in your new git branch.

I included this MDISKCHK.COM version in the FreeDos image of UBCD.
I got a report from one user that MDISKCHK.COM will freeze the whole PC
(not even Ctrl-Alt-Del possible) whenever mdiskchk.com is executed.

Also older versions of MDISKCHK.COM have the same problem on that PC.

The specs of the problematic PC:
- Mainboard: DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D (nForce 4 AMD)
- BIOS: N4D-704-2BTA
