Don  - use a disk editor (like dEd here) or a program, to change the first byte
in the root file descriptor (from $7F on your goofed disk) to $BF. That changes
the attribute back to what it should be. Piece o' cake.

The sector number (LSN) of your root dir file desc is in bytes $08,$09,$0A of
LSN 0.

Yell if need more help. If you haven't used a disk editor before, now is
certainly the time to learn! Much easier than you think. Practice on a floppy
is a good idea, too .
