I am in the process of converting all my old archived files from floppies to a CD-ROM with an intermediate stop at the Hard Drive. For this conversion process, I'm using an old Athlon 700Mhz with Windows 98 SE installed. Everything worked fine, except for about 8 of the more than 300 floppies I transferred. Of course, these are the disks I could not possibly lose.
Here is the problem:
(1) Windows "thinks" these disks are empty. But it does not say the disk is unformatted.
(2) The data recovery software I have -- PC Inspector -- does not see the files either.
(3) It shows no deleted files either.
I remember an old package of Norton utilities from the early 80's that could read any disk (even damaged ones) and allowed for editing, copying, all kinds of great stuff. Unfortunately I don't have them anymore.
I hope that someone out there know how I can save, recover or get to those files. Perhaps an utility such as the old Norton package?
Thank you very much for any help.
