I just tried to read a disc of down loads and got the message-read- write
error, use diskdoctor. What is diskdoctor, where do i get it and how do I use
it?
Diane,
DiskDoctor is a utility that comes with your system software, but this is
one message from your computer that you definately do not want to follow,
as DiskDoctor is a terrible program that may do far more damage than
good.
Instead, download DISKSALV by Dave Haynie… it is in the DISK UTILITIES
library here in AmigaUser: DKSAL2.LHA
Thanks verymuch-will do.
Diane,
Diskdoctor is a fix-disk type program supplied with versions of Worbench
up to version 2.04. I RECOMMEND that you DO NOT USE IT!
Its name should really be DiskQuack! There are other ways to repair or
retrieve the disk/data. Look in the libraries for DiskSalv, I think its in
Disk Utilities library but you can search for it using the string
lib 1 bro/lib:all/key:recover,repair

thanks, I'll look for it.
Diane,
You'd better take a look at DiskSalv 2 (v11.27) Does the job much better.
DiskDoctor is a program which is supposed to repair and salvage files. It
was supplied with WorkBench 1.2 & 1.3. Must be in the C directory.
DiskSalv2 is available here on CIS. Don't ask me where, but I've seen
somewhere.
