My harddisk won't validate.  After booting, the system 
tries to validate the harddisk, but after a while it just stops.  The
harddisk is left read-able, but not write-able.   This all happened after
a system crash (no guru, just lockup), where a file was open (a normal
case where the os needs to re-validate the disk that being written to).

I've used this disk for more than a year without problems. It's an
ST251 with one 40meg partition.  I would hate to have to backup everything,
reformat and restore.   Does anyone have any suggestions?

THanks.
