1622.0. "Unreadable disks...how to fix?" by TEACH::BOB (Bob Juranek EKO/339-4312) Tue Aug 23 1988 13:18

    HELP!
    
    Any Amiga OS gurus out there.   When I insert my PORTAL1 disk (Portal
    is a rather strange 3 disk game) disk into df0: I get a system request
    telling me that PORTAL1 is unreadable, KEY 1687 already set.  Clicking
    on "CANCEL" produces: Use Diskdoctor...."  
    
    My question is:  What does "Key 1687 already set" mean?  I've heard
    that diskdoctor is virtually useless.  Is there some other way or
    utility that I can use to repair this disk? (It's the original..I
    got it long before I got a Marauder that would copy it).  Is there
    a "disk-fixer" that works better than diskdoctor?
    
    As a last resort, is there anyone out there in the Maryland area
    that would be able to regenerate my original disk?
    
    Tnx.
    Bob
