Now that I have more details, my earlier response in incomplete. You need to check a map of 510RES and see what cylinders were clobbered. Definitely cyl zero plus whatever cylinder(s) the VTOC is on and restore them. A DDR copy from another known good copy should work, but if the directory is on any of the affected cylinders, reload the directory after the restore to make sure its current. -- Rich Greenberg Marietta, GA, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 770 321 6507 Eastern time.
