Disksalv.......Can it Validate HD's over 4GB?

[AF-Domains.net]

Usually if you leave the amiga for a few minutes it will normally solve the validation error automatically.

Disksalv can revalidate partitions on hard drives over 4GB but for some reason ends up wiping most of the data from that certain partition.

Using disksalv to revalidate the partition is not recommended.

Is the HD LED constantly on or flickering occasionally?

If the hard drive keeps loading then the system is still attempting to validate the partition.

If you were to leave the amiga sitting for about 5-10 mintues then it should solve the problem by itself.

Try backing up the partition that needs validating first then running disksalv on the repair option.

If disksalv does end up wiping the partition then atleast you will have a backup to restore.

If that is the case then it would be best to back them all up just in case.

The only other option is to look for another program that can scan or validate drives that are over 4gb.
