Systech Software
Recursive disk level data recovery analysis software for bad Floppy Disks. Single recursive run lists all files having a folder entry from an inaccessible floppy disk. Listed files and orphaned files can be recovered by using RECOVER Floppy Pro v1.0. Meant for floppy disks that generate 'Drive A: is not accessible' or 'The disk in drive A: is not formatted' error in WINDOWS. Runs from a DOS box in WINDOWS XP / 2000 / ME / 98 / 98SE / 95 / 95 OSR2. Depending on the version of the WINDOWS OS, a bad Boot Sector on a floppy disk generates 'Drive A: is not accessible' or 'The disk in drive A: is not formatted' error in WINDOWS. 'Drive A: is not accessible' error means one of these other problems too: 1) 'Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)' 2) ''The system cannot read from the specified device' 3) 'The requested sector is not found'. Mainly a bad Boot Sector and/or some other bad sectors in the system area of the floppy disk cause this error (again depending on the WINDOWS version): 'The disk in drive A: is not formatted Do you want to format it now'. These are not big problems. There is no need to find bad sectors by yourself. There is no need to look at sector contents by yourself. And there is no need to make any decisions by yourself regarding what to recover, and what content belongs to what file. Analyzer for RECOVER Floppy Pro lists files with their cluster size and fragmentation status. This shows that this much of info is still available on the bad floppy. This ability to list the lost files ensures that your precious files can be recovered by using RECOVER Floppy Pro v1.0 (just $21 USD). In the case of a reformatted floppy disk, the analyzer can only list files having a folder entry. But RECOVER Floppy Pro can recover these orphaned files too giving them new names when they are recovered.
