TITLE: disappearing drawers

Hi,
  I crashed out an Amiga here.  I tried to do a clean up on
a workbench window by selecting every drawer in it, then
selecting "cleanup" from the workbench menu.
  What happened: one by one the drawers disappeared!  I started
a CLI and found that neither the "name.info" nor "name (dir)"
were present.  Directories which did not have icons were
still present.  This all happened under WorkB 1.2.  This
happened in the root directory of the primary hard disk.
  I tried diskdoctor to no avail.  I tried "copy all dh0: dh1:"
and saw the names of the unreachable files listed as copied, and
the missing directories listed as created.  Unfortunately, neither
the files nor directories could be found on the hard disk.
  What to do?  Surely other folks must have found themselves in
this situation?  Will the diskdoctor from 1.3 deal with this?
Will diskdoctor 1.3 deal with 1.2 disks at all?
  Any suggestions will be appreciated.  I guess it's time to
install 1.3!
