Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Disk Error - Bad Directory

2006-07-10 by Hans Artmann

Adrian,
maybe you want to try the vfxtools I've posted on the file section. While reading a floppy with vrdf.exe the program reports bad blocks and skips them. With a little little luck one can find out whats still retrievable.
However, the floppy might stll not be readable at all.
If the sequences are really important to you try to create an image using vrdf.exe as described in the readme and send it to me along with the log file with the bad blocks report (no fee implied).
Please be aware that you have to run the program in DOS environment. This is explained in the readme, too.

Good luck
Hans

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
