The Damaged Drive catalog strikes again!

The other day, I tried to load a font through Suitcase, and in the
folder menu for my fonts folder on my external drive, Suitcase
claimed that all the fonts after Corona on my drive had been renamed 
Corona. It claimed that I had everything up to C, and then everything 
after that was just copies of Corona. Well, I KNEW that wasn't the
case, so I quit and looked in the font folder. Well, the fonts ended at
C, even though I knew that all the fonts up to Z must STILL be in there.
So I tried to run MacTools, and lo and behold, the catalog file "contains
an invalid backward link from one node to another." Well, that's fine
and good, but MacTools can't repair it! I tried rebuilding the desktop and
doing it again - no luck. When I run Disinfectant on it, it claims that 
many of the font files and a good number of others have damaged resource
forks, though this was not the case two days ago. 

Does anyone have ANY help they could give me? It isn't going away this
time, and I need my fonts and that drive to be functional. I will owe you 
a very big one.

ADVthanksANCE,

Matt
