If both copies of the  FAT and root directory come to less than 64K
(I'm not sure if this is a real restriction).  Copy them to a file on 
floppy, or another partition, using debug, then use debug to restore
them.)

You can do this more elegantly with a minimal (one floppy) Linux system.
(Incidentally, if Linux will format FAT at all, it probably won't do the
surfcace check, so funning the Linux format may have the same effect.)
