There is a brute force way to do this: Execute the CLI command DiskChange on the drive, after you have set the BITMAP_VALID flag in the root block to invalid. This causes AmigaDOS to newly read the disk's parameters, find the bitmap invalid and start the validation process (yes, of the WHOLE disk; I don't know about a way to only register the changes). You know you can invoke CLI commands from C language and even from AmigaBasic by use of the dos library function named Execute. -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to Commodore Frankfurt, Germany \X/ rutgers!cbmvax!cbmger!peterk
