Yesterday I was downloading (via kermit) a whole bunch of files to my
//e with 10MG Sider hard drive, when I got a ProDos8 MLI Error $51-
Directory Structure Damaged.  Only the subdirectory I was loading into
was damaged, and I want to know if I can fix it, and if so, how.
Otherwise I will have to go to re-formatting it and reloading it using
my backup floppies.  This will be inconvenient because of all the time
spent downloading.  Another clue: I had recently UNdeleted some files
in a different subdirectory, but I think it was still legal because I
am pretty sure I hadn't written anything to that directory since
DEleting them.  Besides, that was an entirely different subdirectory.
But it might help.  Also, I don't think I had exceeded 51 files in
that subdirectory, yet...  So:

	1) Can I perform surgery?
	2) If so, how?
	3) Could this be a hard drive problem?
	4) If so, what can I do to see if it is?
	5) Has anyone else had this problem with Siders?

Thanks to anyone who answers with some possibilities.
