How does Disk First Aid behave when confronted with a disk maintained
by the Desktop Manager?  If it won't work, what will?  

I just noticed a damaged icon (it happened to be Disk First Aid) and tried
to check the disk with Disk First Aid.   The outcome was "can't read disk".

Disinfectant and Silverlining found all to be well. I finally rebuilt 
the desktop file (which I understood to be elimintated by the DTM)
and the icon came back to normal.  

However, DFA still can't read the disk.  It can read the startup volume 
on the drive just fine.  Everything seems to work normally.

Any ideas?
