[comp.sys.apple2] Hard drive woes again...

dat33228@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (Derek A. Taubert) (04/20/91)

   Is there a program that will search a hard drive for lost files/folders
besides Deliverance by Vitesse?  I used it, and it got done finding everything,
but then crashed before it could write the fixes to disk.  So, I'm lost.

   Help!!  I've got valuable source code there!

    Try Prosel-16's Volume Repair.  In the more recent versions (8.64 and up,
I believe), there is a Recover Lost Files function which will scan the entire
partition and pick out the blocks which may have once been part of a file. 
You'll need a floppy or another partition to store the recovered files, and of
course, there's no way for the program to figure out the filename.
