How to perform floppy data

recovery with MiniTool Power Data

Recovery software Thanks to the continuous development of data storage technology, flash memory and CD

have become the top choices among mobile storage devices while the previously

widely-used floppy disk gradually quits the stage. Inevitably, floppy disk is still employed

by a small number of users to store small size files, exchange files, boot computer, restore

computer hardware and system soft fault. In addition, some industrial devices only have

floppy disk interface. Therefore, floppy disk-relating problems, such as floppy data

recovery, should not be neglected. In this regard, the powerful data recovery software,

MiniTool Power Data Recovery, was developed to help perform floppy data recovery.

Introduction to floppy disk data structure

3.5-inch 1.44M specification is the most common floppy disk. After formatting, a floppy

disk was generally divided into Track, a couple of concentric circles on disk; Head,

including0 and 1 two sides and Sector, areas on track for storing data. 3.5-inch standard

floppy disk formats include 720KB and 1.44MB while 5-inch floppy disk has 1.2MB and

360KB formats.

The most widely-used 1.44M 2HD floppy disk has 80 tracks, namely 80 concentric circles;

each track is divided into 9 sectors; each sector falls into 512 byte. 0 side and 0 track are

extremely important for a floppy disk. The 1 sector is booting information, 2 and 3 sector is

starting sector of the first FAT and the subsequent are data areas. Every formatted floppy

disk with files is created with a file directory table, recording all floppy disk files. In file

directory table, each file takes up 32 bytes with each byte possessing different meaning.

Data recovery software for floppy disk data recovery

If having profound knowledge on floppy disk data structure, user can solve a host of floppy

disk problems through modifying FDT with WinHex, which, however, is unrealistic for most

users. Therefore, user is kindly recommended to employ MiniTool Power Data Recovery

to perform floppy disk data recovery. MiniTool Power Data Recovery is powerful data

recovery software supporting mainstream operating systems, almost all file types and file

systems. What's more, MiniTool Power Data Recovery is characterized by excellent

security performance, allowing user to perform data recovery without internet.

Attributing floppy disk unavailability, here is a demo on perform hard disk recovery which

shares the same data recovery procedures with floppy data recovery. Now,

launch MiniTool Power Data Recovery:

In consideration of distinct data loss scenarios, this data recovery software provides five

specialized data recovery modules.

"Undelete Recovery" for example, click this module to recovery accidentally deleted files

with incredible efficiency.

Select the partition needing data recovery and then click "Recover" to meet the following

interface.

Check all needed files in this interface and click "Save Files" in the left.

Click "Browse…" to specify save path and then click "OK" to finish data recovery.

MiniTool Power Data Recovery should be the very data recovery software for many data

loss circumstances. If any interest, please go to the official
