SYMPTOMS

When you start your computer after improperly shutting it down, you may receive an NAI Nuts & Bolts DiskMinder error message that says an invalid command line argument was used.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you are using the NAI Nuts & Bolts DiskMinder program instead of ScanDisk as your disk repair program. NAI Nuts & Bolts DiskMinder is unable to correctly interpret the /simpleui switch used with ScanDisk in the Win.com file.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, ignore the error message, and DiskMinder can then continue normally.
