I am pleased to anounce a new FreeDOS utility: recover
I wrote because it because it was on the todo list, but be very carefull. The use for recover is very limited.
There are two ways in which you can recover: the recover disk and recover file methods.
With the recover disk method the root directory is cleared. All cluster chains are converted to new files in the root directory, and all cross linked cluster sequences are truncated.
This destroys all your directories completely! There is however a prompt to indicate that you are doing dangerous.
Notice also that there can not be more then a maximum number of files in the root directory, so you will have to use recover more times when you have a lot of files in the disk. You should then make room on the disk by moving all the recovered files to a different disk.
With the recover file method all the clusters belonging to a certain file are checked and if they are bad or invalid they are circumvented. After this the disk is always checked for lost clusters and the lost clusters are changed to files in the root directory.
You can find the sources at:
