Recover Fixed/Floppy Disk 1.4
Recover Fixed/Floppy Disk. Data Recovery utility for securing files against damage to FAT and / or directory structure. Supports up to 2 GB partitions. Includes a backup solution. Displays Readability more>>
RECOVER Fixed/Floppy Disk v1.4 ( v1.2a already 4-star rated). Directory / File level Data Recovery Utility for Hard Disk Drives and Floppy Disks. Handles two very-difficult-to-handle areas; one being damage to the File Allocation Table of Hard disks and Floppy Disks; and the other being all-directories-gone condition. RECOVER Fixed/Floppy Disk handles these areas at individual directory levels that can be engineered into a simple but powerful backup solution. Recovers all the files from the specified directory on 16-bit and 12-bit FAT file systems in DOS and WINDOWS even if both copies of the FAT have considerable number of damaged sectors, if the disk involved had been regularly defragmented. If FAT is good, FAT1 or FAT2 can be used. All you need to do is put all your important files in a few directories (note: entire drives can be ZIPped up and sent to the backup drive) and defrag that backup drive after each update and if you want to be playful enough, note down the first sector of file(s) or if you want 100 percent safety, save the subdirectory having your important data as a file somewhere else. IF YOU DEFRAG FLOPPY/HDD REGULARLY, YOU GET THE UTMOST BENEFIT. IF YOU DONT, YOU CAN DO A RESEARCH on FAT FILE SYSTEMS. Supports FAT12 File Systems (Floppies) from DOS to WINDOWS 98 and FAT16 File Systems in DOS, WINDOWS 3.1/3.11, WINDOWS 95, and (up to 2 GB partitions in) WINDOWS 95-OSR2 and WINDOWS 98 (HDD can be 10 GB or 20 GB). The documentation for version 1.2a of the program received a 5-STAR rating. Future versions will help the user access what the OS cannot. A future version will withstand "entire directory and both FATs gone" situations. This program is certainly for those who backup because backup programs never talk about uncertainties w.r.t. FAT and Directory entries. A floppy or

FlopShow 1.2
FlopShow can recover files from bad/damaged floppy disks and undelete files from good ones. It can also make/restore floppy disk images more>>
File Recovery
Recovery is all about getting back your files from bad floppies . Try testing recovery wizard on a good floppy disk .The program will recover it for sure ...but this is the most ideal situation from where dos / windows reads files .When the floppy gets damaged ( due to damaged boot sectors , damaged root directory sectors, damaged fat ..etc ) dos / windows refuses to read them ... recovery wizard will try recover files from such bad floppies ..but the success of recovery depends on the extent of damage of the floppy disk .
File Undeletion
I have coded undeletion such that it works only with Good Floppy disks . Again Undeletion wizard cant undelete files always.It all depends on how much contiuous is the file spread on the sectors of the disk , if any other deleted files comes within the region of sectors it occupies ..there is no way to determine whether the undeleted files are in the correct format .
Make and Restore floppy disk image
This option allows you to create an image file for a floppy and then later to restore the image file to the floppy. This option is pretty useful for cloning floppies, making backups (images) of critical floppies like boot floppies of operating systems/anti viruses etc.
