Go to www.grc.com and get Spinrite, a low level formatting, repair and maintenance utility. It works for any kind of file system, including Linux ones. I've used it to recover drives that were no longer readable.
From http://www.grc.com/cs/prepurch.htm: -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- SpinRite 6.0 is NTFS, LINUX & TIVO Compatible! -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- TiVo?? I know it's Linux inside, and I've been "concerned" what will happen when that drive (which is never idle) will give out, but I'm not sure I really want to know how bad it is. Mine's been running almost non-stop for almost 2 1/2 year now... Every time I see some bizarre anomalies in the video or audio stream, I have to wonder whether it's the TiVo drive or was corrupt data coming through the digital cable network. By the way, $89 is a bit steep for a single-purpose utility, don't you think?
