A quick demo / tutorial on the basics of recovering data from damaged floppy disks. I use Norton Disk Doctor 8.0 for MS-DOS. Scandisk, and VGA Copy/386 to look at a few bad 3.5" 1.44mb floppy disks and attempt to recover some of the data.


Video recorded on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 CDT running MS-DOS 6.22


VGA Copy is particularly useful when bad sectors cannot be repaired. VGA Copy 6.25 can be downloaded from Archive.org: https://archive.org/details/vgacp625
