Floppy Recycler

Apr 2005

Floppy Recycler is a DOS based software that makes use of usable parts of a bad floppy disk. Standard file systems (such as FAT16, NTFS, etc) require that the system records like Master Boot Record (MBR), File Allocation Table (FAT), etc. be written at a specific fixed location in the disk. So if these specified areas are bad, the whole disk becomes unusable. Floppy Recycler has no such provisions and makes use of the undamaged portions and hence recycling the disk.

Floppy Recycler is by no means disk repairing utility. The program uses its own file system format and is unrecognizable to any other programs.
