	HELP! I was using VLT to transfer a file (via Kermit) to my
Amiga (from Unix). It stopped in the middle due to a full HD, and I
ended up resetting the Amiga. The thing was stopped at the time, so
I'm surprised there was a problem. However, there was one.
	It was the dh1 partition of my GVP 40MB hardcard. It got
renamed from DH1(20MB) to @(20MB). When I boot up my computer I get a
requestor with "FastBench" on the top (I use SetCPU) saying to insert
volume @. Neither @ nor @(20MB) are recognizable by the OS. Then I get
a message saying "Error Validating Disk, Key 15231 bad header type"
	Is there anything I can do? I have an A2500. I tried relabel
and it doesn't work. Whenever I try to write to or change dh1: it pops
up the "validation" requestor, although reading is fine.
	As software I use a lot. Qmouse (1.3), PD Gomf, Pyro
(screen-blanking utility), CanDo programs, and EW (Exploding Windows).
Pyro and EW are new for me, so I would suspect them. I'd appreciate
ANY help. I realize I can back-up the drive and reformat, but I'd
rather not do that unless I have to! Thanks,
	-- Ethan
