 We have an eagle disk with a SI 9900 controller which has had it's index file
corrupted 4 times in the last 4 months. Has anybody else experienced these
problems. Is it a software or hardware problem.?
 The error message I get when I try and mount the disk is
BITMAPERR- I/O error on storage bitmap; volume locked
 Now the system error message manual implies you can repair this by
using the verify utility but the catch 22 is that you have to mount
the volume files-11 ... and the mount won't let you do this.
 Is there a way of repairing a disk with a bad index file ?
