Recover lost data from an A: drive diskette
I have two folders on my diskette. One folders will open and I can access
the files in it. The other will not open and says that the folder is empty. I had about eight files in that folder and I would like to learn how to recover the files. |

Recover lost data from an A: drive diskette
Answered in another newsgroup.
If you want to be able to use your documents, when working within Word, act as if your floppy drive does not exist! (This applies to CDRW/CDR drives as well.) Don't use Word to: Open a document on a floppy Print a document on a floppy Edit a document on a floppy Save a document to a floppy (not even a copy) Word regularly trashes documents on floppy drives! Instead, work on the document using your hard drive. Copy it back and forth using Windows. I know that for some with shared computers (libraries, schools) this is a tough prescription. All I can recommend for that is to use a brand new formatted disk each time you save and don't do any editing. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Have a look at PC Inspector File Recovery from http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/uk/welcome.htm or BadCopy Pro from:- http://www.jufsoft.com/badcopy/?rid=BadCopy&vid=3.20 |
