I've got some floppy disks that I'm trying to recover data off of. They are 10+ years old and, no surprise, some have errors making them unmountable.
Is there any sort of floppy drive data recovery tool that is more heavy-duty than what I'm using here? This one at least let me dd 5 blocks off the disk before dying - some don't even allow that, where dd throws a "could not open root block" error.
Code:
greg-kennedy# mount -t msdosfs /dev/fd0 /floppy
mount_msdosfs: /dev/fd0: Input/output error
greg-kennedy# dd if=/dev/fd0 of=disk.img
dd: /dev/fd0: Input/output error
