If you are using the standard FFS, then if you leave the disc alone for a while the operating system should validate it, it may take a long while but the hard drive light will eventually go out when its finished validating.  this is how I remember things anyway.

Yep, just leave it a while and it should validate itself. The safest way I've found to deal with checksum/invalid errors is to copy everything to another disk, format the partition and copy back. These errors tend to come back again and again if you try to fix them, in my experience.

The thing is, the HD its not booting... if you boot the Computer from any WB diskette, you see the Device, but if you try to open the Drawer "System" then the Computer try to open the Device it is trying to finish opening all content without HD Moves..
Exist any way to make a bootable again, with format the HD?

The last trick could be a  quick  format and then undelete with for example DiskSalv. But try first if Disksalv could read it without the format.
