I had a hard disk crash some time ago, which corrupted 2M of my 40M
hard disc. Not wanting to backup the whole thing to discs and reformat,
I managed to remove the broken directories and the corrupted files.
But when I removed the directories, the free space map on the disc was
not changed, and now the filer thinks that portions of the disc are
used, which in fact are not. *CheckMap says: Dir tree inconsistent with
free space map, but will do nothing to remedy it.
	Does anyone have a program that will scan the directory tree
on a hard disc and fix the free space map to fit? Would you please
mail it to me. Thanks.
