    I have an Amiga 1000 with a MicroBotics StarDrive SCSI interface, and a
Seagate ST-277N-1 hard drive (65 meg). A couple of hours ago, the machine
locked up while PageStream was attempting to writing a postscript file
to the disk. After reboot, the system was unable to validate the hard
drive. I've tried a complete power down, but things are screwed.
    The exact error message includes: "key 93765 already set" in the
system requestor. I can read from the disk just fine, but it won't let
me write. Thus, I could do a complete backup and reformat. Obviously, I'd
prefer a more simple solution.
    Does anyone understand this error message and have a suggested solution?
Feel free to Email me at the above address or post here, whatever seems
appropriate. (I have no idea if this is a generic problem or not). I do
have FTPing abilities if there is a PD solution to the problem out there.

    Thanks in advance -- Lloyd Eldred
