Well, my luck finally ran out I guess...  After several years with no real
hard drive problems, Handshake 2.20c finally did in one of my partitions...

Just at the beginning of a download (as it was opening the output file I
assume), the Amiga crashed and when it tried to reboot it found that DH0:
needed validation.  About 3-5 seconds after beginning hard drive access the
Amiga gurued...  This happens every time it tries to access DH0:

I used DiskSalv with the 'NODOS' option to recover all the information onto
DH1:, so I have all the data that was on the drive, but my problem is that
I can't get DH0: back...  The Amiga FORMAT command accesses DH0: and 3-5
seconds later - GURU  DiskDoctor, FixDisk and DiskSalv (w/o the 'NODOS'
option) do the same thing, so unless they have switches I am missing they
won't help me...

Is there a way to solve this without doing a low level format of the entire 
drive?  Thanks for any help!!
