I thought my floppy disk (with important data) excl.gifwas hosed.
I use keepass and the data has been stored on floppy.
The write tab is usually disabled, but I made a few recent changes and had to enable.....
The changes were saved within keepass to the floppy.....afterwards I couldn't access the disk and the dreaded "A:/ is not formatted" message popped up. This "floppy" failure has happened more than a few times in the past with other apps, so I don't think keepass is to blame. The last time this happened I managed to find a backup.

There are several commercial/shareware floppy repair utilities, but I wanted a free app.

Out of the blue, I considered opening xplorer². The app immediately read the floppy and the files were easily copied to a temp folder on my HDD. YAY!!!!! rock.gifThe data is now on a CD-R.
It's nice to know that using a different explorer allowed access instantaneously and let me get my stuff back.

I hate floppies... thumbdown.gif

Yes, floppys do suck!! That's the funny thing with the project though. Some people view my decisions to include several different of the same applications is "bloating" the project. However several times now people have found out why. smile.gif

I might add that the xplorer² that saved my bacon is installed on my home system.
I've installed quite a few of the free applications included as plugins in the project. smile.gif
