[I thought all line-eaters were dead by now?]

Hey, I'm a new A500 owner, I can be expected to make mistakes. Anyway,
I got tired of all my disk icons looking alike on the workbench, so I
decided to try to use IconED from the Workbench 1.2 disk to change them.
Well, it couldn't load "diskname:.info" so I thought I would try
"diskname:Disk.info". Sure enough, that was the right icon. After I
altered it and wrote it back out, the system gurued every time that
disk was inserted into the drive. Just once it did manage to paint the
new icon on the screen before it crashed, and it was the altered version.

So, how do I fix this disk? I would like to get the information that
is on it, or I would just reformat.

Thanks.            - lordbah@cup.portal.com  OR sun!cup.portal.com!lordbah
