You should just be able to use the Sum II utilities to rebuild the
directory.  I know this was possible under SUM using the Disk Clinic.
I have not received my update to SUM II yet so I cannot point you to
the correct tool to use.

Judging from the DiskExpress message, you do not have much of a
problem, provided that your system still boots and all.  Basically,
there was a goof-up that corrupted the free-space table.  I might be
mistaken, but I think DiskExpress has an option to rebuild the
allocation tables during optimization.

Hope this helps.  Send me mail letting me know how it works out.
