Several icons on the top level of my hard drive (DH0:) have dissapeared. The .info files are still there. One of the icons was my shell (it's very annoying to have to run the CLI to run Shell, lucky that my System directory icon didn't disappear, or I'd need a floppy to run shell), all of the others are directories. This is the second time that this has happened. The first time was after a nasty guru while downloading, running AmigaBasic and doing something else that I can't remember off hand. A few days later, the icons reappeared of their own accord. Does anyone know what's happening and how to fix? The directories and shell are still there and can be accessed by CLI, even though they don't show up with dir or ls. ARP (and all) file requestors also don't indicate some of the toplevel directories. These don't quite coorespond with the missing icons, e.g. my DH0:Graphics directory shows up as an icon on WorkBench, but not in ARP requests; my DH0:bin is the opposite (no icon, but in ARP), and DH0:utilities is missing in both. Again, all are reachable by typeing in its name under CLI or ARP requests. I've also noticed a file called KeyNames (Aquarium) that's on my top level of DH0: that I can't delete or rename. I always get a file not found error. Any suggestions on how to remove? Can anyone suggest a hard drive checking utility, preferably PD? Please HELP! Thanks for any in advance.
