Floppy Disk Recovery & Data Conversion
One of our less called for services now is the Data Recovery or Conversion of Data from Floppy Disks. These were popular ten years ago, however like the Zip Disk due to advances in flash technology they have declined in popularity. Now their storage capacity of 1.44MB seems insignificant in comparison to even the smallest capacity USB Memory Sticks or SD cards. In 2010 Sony Corporation took the decision to cease manufacture of them in 2011. Despite this there are still millions of them in existence regularly being used, particularly in India and Japan
Floppy disks are again likely to fail owing to physical damage (they are brittle) or exposure to magnetic items so our advice is to always ensure the disk is NEVER exposed to any source of magnetism, such a source would be a mobile phone, something not often considered!
We
are market leaders in recovery of failed Floppy Disks and to date we
have a 100% recovery rate. We can recover these from the following
failure types:
* Disks with the "click click" sound
* "file not found" error message
* FAT table corruption
* Invalid sectors
* I/O Disk error
In these incidences the data, once recovered, is return on either a 4GB Kingston Data Traveler G2 thus upgrading you to the latest flash media products or be downloaded form our secure servers.
Simple Data Conversion can usually be completed for a modest fee
whereas Data Recovery from a failed diskette is more expensive -
contact us today for a quote to
either convert or recover your Floppy Disk.
