The disk light flashes once as the disk is briefly accessed.

Disksalv is great..saved my arse a few times.

agreed, Disksalv has saved my skin a few times too. however on partitons in the gigabytes it is slow.... not stopped me loosing data too tho. i might have a look at SFS.. can you boot with SFS?

Yep. The filesystem is installed in the RDB of the hard drive, so it's available from cold boot. All partitions can be formatted as SFS including your boot partition.
