Validating a hard disk

[Gavilan]

_Ok..now i really messed up things..
By mistake i deleted a whole partition, and used DiskSalv to unformat the partition.
It recovered EVERYTHING and also more stuff!
Thing is, the partition got 0 blocks free, and i get a read/write error randomly telling me something about allocated space.
I tried to copy and/or delete something to free some space, but i cant, and it keeps telling me the partition is not validating..
How can i solve this??

Thanks in advance

BTW, im using OS 3.1 if that info is important...

The buggered partition was like 1 gig...it was full of Amiga stuff i collected since 1998...
After copying everything into another partition, i see i only got 200 megas...and a lot of drawers are empty..
So where are the other 800 megas? Lost???

@Hyperspeed
Yeah, the same happened here....
I will try phase 5 scsi config tools..
HDToolbox and/or HDINST ar not good to me...

I have used same Disksalv as you did...
I recovered 90% of the drive. I recovered EVERYTHING but a DRAWER that i need desperately....in that drawer i had EVERYTHING, all my DirOpus configs, all the mountlists...everything...

Strange that i couldnt salvage THAT drawer....

I used to have a backup of that drawer on another hard disk..but (as you may imagine..) that hard disk got broken YESTERDAY

Yeah i know, i´d better lough...hey im still alive!!

Cheers!
