	As with most disk problems, Norton Utilities could help if you have it
or can copy it from some one.  The Norton Disk Doctor can reconstruct the disk,
fat table and directories and files if necessary.  Just execute "ndd /complete"
and it will run a complete diagnostic and resolution if possible. The program
might give you a warning that some or all files may be los, but in most cases,
Norton Utilities can solve your problems.

You just can't do anything without having Norton Utilities --
I have it and use it often for all of it's utilities.
