Is that possible to do in a non-destructive way? I don't want to loose all
data and apparently I can't back it up either :(.

Nope, r+w will write over everything on the disk, but I have found -the-
most effective way to see if a disk is good or not. I'd rather have the
disk die to that test rather than using it in production and finding it
dies with my data on it.
