I haven't done exactly what you're talking about, but it seems like it should work. The key to if it will or not is if your program recognizes NTFS. Win 98 itself would not because the NTFS file system is NT and forward, but the 98 based program lists NTFS as a possible file system in the tutorial.
I apologize if I'm wrong and NTFS is not available, but this definately seems worth trying.

That sounds like something that would work. I don't know exactly what you're talking about, but all he needs is a CHKDSK that works in the NTFS file format. His question was if it would work on a flash drive, and the answer is yes as long as he gets a Windows NT or newer version of CHKDSK for it. The same thing would work through a CD.
