  The only thing I can think of is that if there is a directory entry ahead of 
the one for you file, which contains all E5's, the standard software will think it marks the end of the directory and ignore the rest. You could modify the name field of such an entry (put in 20's or such) to override that. I would strongly suggest making
 an IMAGE copy of the disk before doing much of that stuff (NOT
a PIP copy). Another thing you could try would be the SAP program (PD), which
does a sort-and-pack on the directory. Definitely have a backup before you do
that. Probably the best solution would be to enlist the help of someone who is
experienced with DU. Good luck. Oh, by the way... where was your backup copy?
