RE: 5.25 Inch Disk Data Recovery

Hi,
  I seem to remember that Apple's drives read floppies in a different way
than the PC standard, so it was capable of using more space on the outer
sectors.  DD and strings would be your best bet to see if you are recovering
any data, but you most likely need either an Apple drive.

There is a chance I'm remember the 3.5" instead of the 5.25"

Regards,

Jim Shewmaker

Subject: 5.25 Inch Disk Data Recovery


Hi all,

I would appreciate any help in trying to resolve a
problem I am having.

I am trying to recover data from some 5.25 inch disks.
 They came off an older Apple system. (Apple 2?).

I have tried using dd, Ghost, Encase, FTK, Winhex and
Norton Utilites to view/image these diskettes without
any success.

It is not clear to me if there is still valid data on
these disks.  My experience has shown me that data on
a 5.25 inch can get corrupted over time.  Does anyone
know if the tools above could successfully read these
disks?  I am using a 1.2 Mb drive.  If these tools
can't do the job, does anyone know of a definitive way
to get at this data using an x86 or Sun system?

Thanks all,

Sety
