Floppy Disk Data Recovery
The floppy disk is still one of the most convenient ways of storing data. Despite their small capacity, over one million floppy disks were sold in the North America last year (2005). However, due to the fact that floppy disks are mainly used to make data portable, and they are made from a thin magnetic media, they are extremely susceptible to physical damage.
Damage to the magnetic media through exposure or contamination is equally as common as damage to the platters on a hard disk.
Typical error messages displayed when there is a fault with your floppy disk include:
- "File not found"
- "Disk not formatted"
- "Cannot read sector"
- "Invalid disk"
- Unrecognized database format
- Enter database password (when none was set)
- Invalid or corrupt partition
- Corrupt FAT
- Invalid sector
- Disk I/O error
In most cases the data on the floppy disk can be recovered.
Since its launch in 1992 Fields Data Recovery has offered a floppy disk recovery service, usually returning the data via e-mail within a few hours.
"Our server had been working without any problems for years, we thought we had an adequate back up policy. As is always the case with these things we found out we didn't too late. Fields had us up and running very quickly especially considering we sent the server to a higher priced lab first." - Jeff Long - Ink Express, Febuary 2009 [ Read More ]
