Disksalv is not ok for SFS partitions.  There are no fix in place
solutions for SFS.  SFSSalv can get files off a damaged partition.
The only way to fix a SFS partition is to reformat it using SFSFormat.
SFS is Beta softwaare, but I use it all the time.  FFS scks bad.  For
DiskMonTools try giving thee drive more buffers (2000) it might sped
it up.

using SFS but with FFS gives the same error

??? how aare you setting this up, to use FFS or SFS you need to
reformat the partition, this should have got rid of the error!

SFS must be used with it's SFSFormat.
FFS must be used with the workbench format command.

You are right there, all disk utilities that are made before WB3.5
(Disksalv, reorg, QBTools etc, will not work on drives larger than
4Gb, and AFAIR on partitions over 2Gb.  

NOTE WELL if they are used: Data will be lost!
