HDCopy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


HDCopy is a disk image application for floppy disks that runs in MSDOS. It creates image files using the IMG file format. It was written by Oliver Fromme and is distributed as cardware.

Do not confuse the HD in its name with hard disk. HD represents high density (floppy disks with capacity greater than 1.2 MB).

In the early 90s, when floppy diskettes for PCs were widely used, HDCopy was extremely popular in many places. Its usage started to decline as floppy disks became less widely used.

[edit] Features

The program can handle a large variety of non-standard formats and in many cases automatically recover bad sectors.
