Subject: [NTLK] OT - I need an old 5 1/4" floppy drive to recover old PC
data -- Any ideas?
After taking apart my desktop Windows 98 PC, disconnecting and reconnecting
cables a billion times, and reboot after reboot, I still can not get the
5.25" floppy drive to work correctly!!! It lights up, the deiskettes spin,
but that's about it. I suspect that my PC can't read the data because the
diskettes originated in the Reagan years. Seriously, I tried using a DOS
terminal thingie, and I still could not even read a directory of files on
any of several 5.25" diskettes that I tried. This bites.
I am seeking somebody in southeastern Michigan that can loan me a PC with
BOTH a 3.5" and a 5.25" floppy drive, so that I can at least get the data on
to some format that can be read by my laptop or my desktop (Once I put it
back together and reconnect stuff). Thanks again.
Matt K.
