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
