Yes this happened to me a while back - I used Fedit+ - you basically have to
go through every sector of the disc with the "disc info" option on and
writing down which sectors belong to which files - then rebuilding the
files byhand on a another floppy.  Arrrg it's a pain.

Unfortunatly one file (a dictionary) vanished and I couldn't find it again!

Has anyone else had this problem - I'm running the new SE system/finder
on a 512/800 with external floppy?
