Topic: Symantec's Genesis to Usher in a New Age of Trust?

Okay, Ghost-type backup software is fine, but is there any (freeware) equivalent to the old Norton Disk Doctor?  I mean, you don't have to keep the "repaired" floppy or Zip disk, but if it can make it so you can retrieve your data from the disk, then you can throw away the bad disk!

Ask and you shall receive.

Dead-Disk-Doctor

Dead Disk Doctor - Designed to easy copy files from damaged, scratched or partly unreadable disks or other media.

Why thank you very much!!

(Ahem... +1... ahem.)

I'm going to install it pronto and see if I can revive or somehow read and copy stuff from my friend's kaput Zip disk.

Okay, now to veer the topic off just a bit:

There used to be Cental Point Software, and they made utilities.  There was Norton and they made utilities.  They were both, if I recally properly, pretty good.  They they got gobbled up by Symantec.  Central Point vanished and Norton began to stink.  Now, I haven't followed the field, but who were other prominent utility suite makers and which survive to this day?

Dude, that's awsome. The only Norton Product I had remaining was Norton Ghost, Now we can wish It a Bye bye on my system.

You Rock Nem.

It was that comment by Javora about using Ghost that got me thinking and looking.  It just goes to show how much is out there if you only think to look.

I haven't tried those CDs, I just found them and being on dialup I have yet to attempt the download.  If anyone does test them and has any comment on them I would like to hear about it.  I'll have to add them to the revised Free Software list that I just posted.  Too bad I did the update before finding these .

Yes, the BartPE Ultimate Boot CDs are awesome!  I have a working copy of v2.5 that I downloaded & created which I will send to anyone who wants one.

Have you tried Midnight Commander?

I haven't tried the Windows version myself but you may wish to.
