Scott, I think the "block used twice" indicates that some program has gotten into a loop on the disk, but I'm not sure because I've never found a good explanation. ANyway, there are several solutions. First: Have you discovered HDToolBox? It is in the TOOLS directory of my workbench. I've found it to be very helpful and reliable. Second: there are two commercial packages of disk utilities that might help – Quarterback Tools and AmiBack Tools. Both are good, I hear. I don't own either. Third: there is a program here in AmigaUser libraries called FIXDISK that might clear up the "used twice" problem for you. You can easily locate it with cross-library searching. At any library prompt, type BRO FIX*.*, and that ought to bring it up. I think the CIS name for it is FIXDSK.LZH, but I'm not certain about the last part of the name. —Betty
