Arrrgh! 

My harddisk has crashed, but I think its probably fixable:

I was un-arcing a file, and had a system crash, (no suprise, seeing how I 
had all kinds of things running), but the file that I was unarcing
didn't get fully unarced, and when I re-booted, I got:

	Error validating disk
	Key 18036 bad header type

But it still boots (after I hit cancel)

So I whip out diskx, and look at block 18036, and yep, it's the file 
header for that file.  So I figure all I gotta do it fix or delete 
that file header, (or delete whatever is referencing it), no?

How do I go about doing this?  (It's a supra 20meg, so I'm using 
their mounting software 'supramount', in case it matters)

I can't just delete the file, 'cause the disk isn't validated (although if
it's possible somehow, thats the optimal solution.)

Help please!?!?
