 Posted: Thu Aug 03, 2006 5:38 am Post subject: recovering data from a floppy |
 |
|
Okay, I wrote a bunch of papers for school, I uploaded them (or so I thought) from my floppy disk. I get an e-mail from the instructor saying the files didn't take or couldn't be opened.
I took the floppy, in the same computer I wrote the papers on and it wouldn't open. It keeps asking if I want to format it...
I NEED THESE FILES!
Is there a way to workaround this? Maybe a software program or free download utility to recover these files?
I think it made a back-up, but I also believe it went on the floppy too. Does that sound correct? Would it be hiding somewhere in an obscure directory or temp file somewhere?
I'm hating it because all my notes are on the floppy and I DIDN'T PRINT A HARD COPY.  (IDIOT)
Help? |

you can get 128mb drives for 12-15,000 won. I bought a 1gb drive for my wife, at the university I work at, for 43,000. |
