[comp.sys.apple] BAD BLOCK

To TMPLee@Dockmaster.arpa

To get rid of screwy blocks, use the "problem file delete" shown in the
Cat.doctor docs.  Sort the dir, move the "bad file" (you may want to try to
copy it off first if you need it) to the end, then hit OA-Delete.  Then hit
return twice to write the new dir (minus the file) back to the disk.  Then run
Mr.Fixit in Fix mode and allow it to free the "unused blocks".  Then your disk
will be back to normal.  I use a PCT but haven'y had any problems with the
file MSDOSVOL.
