Hi.

Last night I was zooing 'Liner.zoo and in the middle of the extracting my
system gurued.  When I warm booted I kept getting a error message 
saying "Error Validating disk, Key 38 already set".  I can read off the
disk but every time I try to write or delete a file, I get the system
requester telling me that disk is not validated.  I tried to use a
program called validate but it didn't work.  What can I do to validate
this disk?  It's a Quantum 80.  I hope there is a better solution than
backing up the whole disk then reformatting then restoring the files.
I really can't afford the time to do that right now.  
Does anyone have a better solution?

Thanks,
