[comp.sys.amiga] Help! harddisk problem?

arxt@tank.uchicago.edu (patrick palmer) (11/01/89)

Help!  When I turned my system on this morning, it quit while I was selecting
an icon.  When I did a warm reboot I got the frightening message:
     Key 24811 already set
     (something about disk validation)
     and the requestor:   retry - requestor again
                          cancel - seemed to work all right.
 What does this mean?  

I have an A2000, a GVP 40meg Quantum hardcard, Micron 2meg expansion card,
and a Supra 2400 baud modem.  The only software running was standard Commodore
except for the GVP autoboot rom, Dmouse1.10, and noclick3.3.  (Everything 
except for the presence of noclick is as it has been for nearly a year.)

Is this bad?  Is this a hardware failure?  Is there anything I should rescue
with disksalv?  (Like all conscientious harddrive users, I back mine up
regularly - I see it was done only last Nov. 15)
