Odell, The best thing to do is first back-up the drive. Then run diskdoctor on it. Diskdoctor will list every file on your drive as unreadable. Ignore those messages. It will then ask you if you want to delete bad files in ????? directory. Answer NO to all of those. (It will ask this for each dir on your disk.) When it finnishes, your drive will re-validate and 95% of the time will be just fine. If Diskdoctor reports a hard-error, you will have to reformat the drive, but that probably won't happen with a key error. Diskdoctor is not one of Amiga's better utilities but the above proceedure works very well with key conflicts. Dale
