DiskSalv most certainly *does* work on hard drives; Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I meant disksalv doesn't actually fix the file system on the hard disk so that it can be validated. I keep good backups, so there isn't really a need to make a backup using disksalv. What I want, since I suspect there is actually very little damage, is something that will repair the file system on the hard disk. I was looking for something like the Unix fsck, or the MSDOS chkdsk. Diskdoctor doesn't leave the disk in a state where it can be validated. * * * \|/ * _______ --O-- ____/ KC1VP \____ * /|\ * _____________/ (203) 389-8680 \_______________ ______/ 95 Fountain Terr., New Haven, CT, USA, 06515 \_______ / Chris Hind Genly chris@genly.uucp uunet!hsi!genly!chris \ ----------------------------------------------------------------
