Smart File System Recovery

Is there any softwrae like DiskSalv for SFS?

My A4000D started reporting checksum errors on my SFS partition DH1:. I ran SFSDefrag and after a while - not sure how long exactly as I kicked it off and went out and came back to find the machine had frozen/locked-up. After a soft reset it didn't boot and after a hard reset - switched off left for 10mins then switched back on - I get the kickstart screen. No boot. The boot partition is FFS (OS3.9 version BB1 & BB2 installed). I'm also running IDEFix97.

Is it possible to salvage this without having to do a full reinstall?

Thanks for the suggestions I'll do so more digging on google and see if I can find any more info.

Things may not be as bad as I initially thought, as I was able to boot into workbench 3.9 off the HD after I booted into workbench 3.1 off of floppy.

@ AmigaMance - the reason the boot partition is on FFS is because I one 80GB hard drive partioned into two DH0:Workbench and DH1:Work. When I installed OS3.9, I isntalled OS3.1 onto DH0: using the standard install and hence FFS was the file system. I then installed OS3.9 and at that time I installed IDEFix97 and also SFS.

What I think I'm gonna do is copy everything off DH1: onto a USB pen drive - I've got 10GB of stuff to shift. I've already backed up DH0: onto a 128MB CF card, so I've got a copy of the OS.

I'll then wipe the drive and start afresh, but to stop this happeing again what can I do? I was thinking of using PFS instead of SFS or should I go with FFS with TD64? Any recommendations?
