The problem of unmountable disks caused by a crash can usually be fixed by
using a program like Copy ][ Mac to sector copy the damaged disk. Usually,
the error status indicator on Copy ][ Mac shows one or two sectors have been
clobbered. Copy ][ Mac reacts by writing out zeroes to the respective sectors
on the target disk. 

9 times out of ten you will find that the duplicate disk (with errors removed)
will mount properly.
