Recover Fixed/Floppy Disk 1.4

RECOVER Fixed/Floppy Disk v1.4 ( v1.2a already 4-star rated). Directory / File level Data Recovery Utility for Hard Disk Drives and Floppy Disks. Handles two very-difficult-to-handle areas; one being damage to the File Allocation Table of Hard disks and Floppy Disks; and the other being all-directories-gone condition. RECOVER Fixed/Floppy Disk handles these areas at individual directory levels that can be engineered into a simple but powerful backup solution. Recovers all the files from the specified directory on 16-bit and 12-bit FAT file systems in DOS and WINDOWS even if both copies of the FAT have considerable number of damaged sectors, if the disk involved had been regularly defragmented. If FAT is good, FAT1 or FAT2 can be used. All you need to do is put all your important files in a few directories (note: entire drives can be ZIPped up and sent to the backup drive) and defrag that backup drive after each update and if you want to be playful enough, note down the first sector of file(s) or if you want 100 percent safety, save the subdirectory having your important data as a file somewhere else. IF YOU DEFRAG FLOPPY/HDD REGULARLY, YOU GET THE UTMOST BENEFIT. IF YOU DON'T, YOU CAN DO A RESEARCH on FAT FILE SYSTEMS. Supports FAT12 File Systems (Floppies) from DOS to WINDOWS 98 and FAT16 File Systems in DOS, WINDOWS 3.1/3.11, WINDOWS 95, and (up to 2 GB partitions in) WINDOWS 95-OSR2 and WINDOWS 98 (HDD can be 10 GB or 20 GB). The documentation for version 1.2a of the program received a 5-STAR rating. Future versions will help the user access what the OS cannot. A future version will withstand "entire directory and both FAT's gone" situations. This program is certainly for those who backup because backup programs never talk about uncertainties w.r.t. FAT and Directory entries. A floppy or <= 2 GB FAT16 partition needed to get started. Find out the TECHIE in you. Exploit the save-directory-as-file feature to design a backup solution.
