Re: Is it possible to fix damaged disk?



The easiest fix would be to make a quick and dirty copy of the disk
using locksmith fast copy or some other whole disk copier that will
ignore errors.  Then you should only be out the bad sectors.  (The
software put out by Keypunch Software is not copy protected and once
restored, you may want to make a backup copy.)  With some luck, the bad
sectors will be inthe DOS area and the games will be intact.

I did a quick search and did not find an image file for you.  With luck
someone here will have that disk and be able to provide and image for
you to use to restore your disk.

Thankx,
Ed
