Help: ProSel 8 (Mr. Fixit & Beach Comber)



I have a ROM 01 GS, RamFAST C, Syquest 44MB cartridge in two partitions.

I want to use ProSel 8 (Beach Comber) to defragment my hard disk.  Midway
through I get a "Bad index block" error.  Before defragmenting, I ran the
volume through Mr. Fixit to verify a good volume (no errors found). 
However, I believe the problem is in Mr. Fixit's 'Repair Main Volume'
module.  It reports the volume size as 0 blocks, and therefore does
nothing with it.  (This worked fine on my other partition.) The partition
that is reported as 0 blocks is actually a full 32 Meg.  Using Block
Warden, I found a set of bytes on my smaller partition that corresponds to
the volume size.  On the 32M partition, those same bytes are correctly
marked as FF FF (= 32M). 

So, how can I get Mr. Fixit to recognize my volume as 32M in size, 
allowing it to perform the Main Volume repair?  Is there another set of 
bytes I can set to manually change the volume size?  When inspecting my 
smaller partition, I only found one occurence of the bytes which match 
the volume size.

Thanks in advance,
