- Is there a utility that will *just* mark a disk as validated a disk
- without performing a disk scan? The reason I ask is utilities like
- DiskSalve returned no errors yet the disk is still not validated.
- The disk was OK and had no errors prior to a program crash so I do
- not suspect physical disk damage.
-
- Failing that is there any method to prevent the disk validation
- process from running?
-
- This has occured on numerous occasion in the past with both IDE and
- SCSI harddrives and I have yet to find a reliable disk recovery
- program. I have one of the earlier A1200 (Kickstart 39.106,
- Workbench 39.29) and am begining to wonder if there are any bugs in
- the firmware.
