If you are not able to copy all the files from the defective
diskette, copy as many as you can and then use the
MS-DOS program RECOVER. This program recovers all
the data that it can read on the diskette. It is specifically
designed to work on disks or diskettes that may be
defective. See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for
instructions on using RECOVER.
WARNING
RECOVER
renames
all files
on the diskette, so use it
only
after you have copied as many files as
possible with
the MS-DOS COPY command.
6. If you see no error messages but there is something wrong
with the data in a file, MS-DOS or an application program
may have updated file storage information on the diskette
incorrectly. This is probably the case if you have one of
these problems:
Part of a file is missing
A file includes parts of other files
An expected output file is missing.
To make the necessary repairs, use the MS-DOS program
CHKDSK.
Note
It is best to make a backup copy of the entire diskette
before making
changes with
CHKDSK.
CHKDSK examines the diskette and if it finds errors, you
see the following message:
Errors found,
F parameter not specified
Corrections will not be written to disk
