You need to be careful when adding this to a failover group under v1.0 of
Clusters because if there is anything open on the drive in question (CMD
prompt, file manager, users accessing, etc.) CHKDSK/F will fail.  Normally,
CHKDSK will say CHKDSK cannot run now and asks if you want it to run at the
next system restart, but since Clusters doesn't let the failover script
interact with the Desktop, the cfmd service just hangs until the next reboot.
Note: when you add a failover script to a failover object in Cluster 
Administrator, the script gets executed on the node that owns the group, so
be careful!
