Dropping bad DBSpace

First of all, I really screwed up and I know it. Second, my mistake hasn't lost any data, so it really wasn't that bad. What i did was accidentally assigned the same chunk of space to two different instances. This chunk is the first chunk of a dbspace on instance 1, and the rootdbs on instance 2. I have shutdown instance 2 and was able to remove all but the sysmaster db. I still cannot remove the chunk/dbspace from instance 1 because of an error: Cannot drop the Space. ISAM error: bad isam file format. I assume this is because of the data on the chunk from instance 2. So, how do I get this unusable chunk out of instance 1 so I can rebuild instance 2? Any help would be greatly appreciated. HP-UX B.11.00 U 9000/800 Informix Dynamic Server 2000 Version 9.21.HC4 Thanks!
