A disk that is "not validated" is a sick disk. It means
you can read the files on the disk, but it won't let you
write to it (deleting requires a write).

First, backup the disk that won't validate.

If there are files missing, try DiskSalv (a PD program) or
DiskDoctor (in the C: directory).

Then format, and restore.
