Apple people: Do any of you know of any tool/product/technique which will allow recovery of data from a disk which is reported by the system to be damaged? I am not quite sure of the actual message as I am posting this at the request of my boss (it's his machine, I'm an ms-dos user and can't seem to help him). Anyway, he did manage after several tries to get a directory listing but did not take advantage of that and has been unable to repeat. I started babling about 'DEBUG.COM', Norton Utilites, MACE utilities, PC-Tools, etc. Do similar products exist for the Apple ][C line?? Are they expensive?? Just got more info.... it is an 'AppleWorks' DATA disk, it cannot be copied OR loaded into AppleWorks, ProDOS verify reports that disk appears damaged. Please reply via E-MAIL as I am very unlikely to read this newsgroup. various addresses which will reach me: koziarz@halibut.nosc.mil koziarz@tisss.radc.af.mil koziarz@tops20.radc.af.mil koziarzw@lonex.radc.af.mil koziarzw@misvax.radc.af.mil Thank you for the time and effort!!!!!

I'll answer you here: Seems like you need LIFSAVER, a program which recovers damaged sectors by twisting and wrenching the drive head over and over until it gets a trace ever so small of whats been on the disk and then recovers it. It Actually recovered a disk I spilled coffee on without loosing a single bit! However I don't know where to get it from, maybe some local dedicated apple user could help you. Good luck! --- --- Tero Korento ---
