[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Re/Write Error

  A day ago i was un zoo-ing Bigbench when my computer (A2000HD) locked
up.  I was zoo-ing the file from df0: to fh0:.  when i re booted the
computer a system error message poped up.  The message said "Volume
workbench has read write error.  Error validating disk." I pressed retry
a couple times, but nothing happened do I hit cancel.  Another sys.
message then popped upsaying," Key 15151 bad header type." I tried retry
afew times with no luck so i had to hit cancel.  When the disk finished
booting I checked the Workbench(fh0:), and the little empty full
indicator was gone.  I am able to read off the disk, but I was not able
to write or delete off the partition. If there is any advice you could
give me I would really appreciate it.

  I had that same problem a few days ago.  I used FixDisk 1.0 and fixed it
fine.

Back up your disk. Use a GOOD utiltiy such as QuarterBack (or
equivalant) and then use the AmigaDOS FORMAT command to wipe that
partition clean. Now restore all the files BACK to that partition. It's
really the only safe way to do it. 

If your FH0: partition is under 40 Meg you could try to use FIXDISK (
available on most GOOD BBS's) to recover the partition. But even then I
would only do it AFTER backing the partition up fully.

Good Luck........

You'll have to backup and then reformat that partition.  Happens all the
time, especially if the system gurus in the middle of a write to the HD.
