     Get a copy of Dave Haynie's DiskSalv.  I think the latest
version is 1.42.  It does a great job of recovering deleted files,
clobbered disks, etc.  Another program you might want in your
arsenal is Werner Gunther's FixDisk, which, although designed for
floppies, has fixed up my hard disk a number of times.  If one of
these programs can't save your ass, the other one likely can.
Either one might lock up part way through if things are really
bad - just re-boot and try again, and eventually they'll straighten
out just about anything.

     These programs are probably available on Fish disks.
Their authors deserve a great round of applause.
