They are still in the directory where they were placed. If you called for them with the proper path, you could probably load them. However, by having moved the first drawer out of the root, it will not appear when you ask for the directory. I have fixed such problems with disk editors. One disk with a problem somewhat like this was fixed when I just used : Copy df0: to df1:. Diskcopy didn't fix the problem, but plain old Copy did it. It would take a bit of time to track it all down with a disk editor, but it could be fixed by finding the directory block on disk where the misplaced drawer icon currently resides, getting the hash value of its name and locating the block on which that .info file is stored. Then place the number of that block in the correct slot in the root directory and all will be restored. This is quickly written – sure hope it makes sense to you.
