External Program
RECOVER (Recovering a file)
The external program
RECOVER
allows the operator
to recover a file or an entire
diskette containing bad sectors.
If a sector on a diskette is bad,
you can recover either the file
containing that sector (without
the bad sector) or the entire
diskette (if the bad sector was
in the directory).
To recover a file, type:
• RECOVER filename
• [RETURN]
This will allow MS-DOS to read
the file sector by sector and to
skip over the bad sector(s).
When MS-DOS finds the bad
sector(s), that particular
sector(s) are marked and MS-DOS
will no longer write your data
to that sector.
If the bad sector is in the
directory, the entire diskette
would have to be recovered.
To recover a bad sectored
diskette from drive B, type:
• RECOVER B:
• [RETURN]
B > Recover fUename.xxx
Press any key to be§in recovery of the
files(s) on dnve B:
27 fMefs) recovered
_
If you were recovering a
diskette from drive A, and A:
would have to be typed in place
of B:.
NOTE:
If there is not enough room in
the root directory,
RECOVER
will print a message and store
information about the extra files
in the File Allocation Table. You
can run
RECOVER
again to
regain these files when there is
more room in the root directory.
The root directory is an empty
directory on the diskette that
MS-DOS creates when you use
the
FORMAT
command to
format a new diskette.
