Did you know the volume was so full - this certainly will be contributing to your problems.
You have 3 options:

3. Power down, remove disk 1 and clone it. You will need to use a cloning utility that does sector by sector cloning. Insert the clone and try to boot the duo.
I think option 3 is unlikely to be helpful but will give you another copy of disk 1.
