I've not had a lot of success with Norton's Disk Doctor, but PCTools's
DISKFIX has saved my bacon more than once.  This 'Swiss Army Knife' (as
it's been called) is overkill in its diversity, but I like it.  I have
no need (currently) for its Desktop feature, and only use a few of the
standalone utilities, but all in all, a fine package.  But then, that's
why there's different flavors of ice cream...
