- It doesn't always work.. What I suggest is find a way to copy your files
- elsewhere, either another partition, or another drive (or floppy), reformat
- and copy em all back. Oh, you may want to try to salvage some files, if some
- of them don't seem to appear anymore. DiskSalv works pretty much most of the
- time, as does AmiBack Tools, but sometimes you can't just clear out a bad
- checksum.
