Re: Is it possible to fix damaged disk?

[kellihanb@aol.comDelete (KellihanB)]

Hmm... I've tried using apple disk utilities to copy the whole disk and it
failed ... several times.  I tried verifying that the disk is readable, and it
says the disk is damaged... 
   However, I'm not giving up on this disk yet... I've searched the web,
Asimov, and tried Tiktok (is it gone?) but the image isn't out there.  I guess
this wasn't popular enough to image...
   The good (bad?) news is I think I know how the disk was damaged.  I was
playing a game of Chess and the phone rang.  I didn't want to play anymore so I
hit CTRL-Apple-Reset and then CTRL-Reset to drop into basic.  I use a DuoDisk. 
I just found out today (reading the FAQ over at Rubywand's site) that using the
reset combination sometimes causes DuoDisks to write randomly to the disk!!!
(funny how information like this always shows up right _after_ you need it). 
;-)  Apparently I need to clip two capacitors off the analog board to prevent
this from happening again...
   I'm going to try a file by file copy to a freshly formatted DOS 3.3 disk
using the ProDOS system utilities.  (BTW: how do you do this from ProDOS? Is it
possible?  Would copying a DOS 3.3 disk with ProDOS and then erasing it work?) 

Thanks the help,
(here and to those who e-mailed me),
