I recently lost some important on my floppy. The other files are still there but there are 2 important files that are gone. They are word docements save in .rtf format. Is there anyway that I can retrieve the files?


Thanks

Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier This program is great for recovering files from scratched CD's or defective floppy/hard disks. Normally when your computer is unable to copy a file from a damaged disk it will abort and delete the portition of the file it has copied. This program however will continue to copy the file right to the end. Any data that is not recoverable
after many retries is replaced with blanks. This will allow you to truely recover every byte of information that is available for recovery
