Hello! Does anyone know how to recover lost data from a DOS 3.3 disk I just wrecked? I have the usuals for ProDos, but not DOS 3.3. Thanks...
I always used Disk Repair Kit. (DaRK.) It did a lot of automatic recovery. Two methods i would normally use: Make a bit-copy of the damaged disk and work from that to recover whatever you can. Then make a quick sector copy (Locksmith) of the disk and work on that.
Between the two disk, you may be able to recover your data. The bit copier will allow you to edit bad nibbles to restore a lost sector or track when there are read errors and the sector copy will allow you to ignore bad spots on the disk to recover files or at least pieces of files. Dark will allow you to rebuild your Volume table of contents on s DOS 3.3 disk and ignore some minor errors.
You didn't say exactly how your DOS3.3 disk is trashed. Thankx, Ed
