David,
You could try a program called Fixdis.zoo.

Title : FIXDISK, a disk recovery program
Keywords: FIXDISK RECOVER UNREADABLE DATA
FIXDISK seems like it'll be a good partner for DiskSalv. It can
recover some information from unreadable tracks on a disk. It has
other features that DiskSalv doesn't, but doesn't include everything
that DiskSalv can do.
You have to run this from within a shell window and use the DOOM switch to
get it to work with hard drives of 40MB or more.
RAM:> Run Fixdisk doom.
It has saved me before I had one SyQuest cartridge that wouldn't even be
seem as an Amiga formatted disk and it fixed it. I recommend trying to
backup before using it or any disk fixer utility. There is also a
commercial program called Quarterback Tools version 1.5 that could fix it.
Another newer product as yet to be reviewed (don't know if it has shipped)
is Ami-Back Tools.
