I don't know what happened to your S: directory, but I know a way that should
recover from it.  First, make a temporary directory.  The cd to your semi-
existant s: directory, copy all the file to the temp directory, then delete
all the files from s:.  Try backing up a level and deleting the s: directory
itself, too.  Then rename the temp directory to s: and you should be all
set.

DiskSalv is much better than diskdoctor.  Version 1.42 (the latest?) is
available on Fish Disk 251.
