Re: [sleuthkit-users] Corrupted floppy

[Brian C. <ca...@sl...>]

How do you mean "corrupted"?  Is the file system corrupt or is the 
physical media damaged and it generates errors when you try to read it? 
  If it is physical damage, then TSK / Autopsy will not help.  If it is 
file system corruption, then you can try them but they will not fix any 
errors that exist.  You can also make  an image of the floppy using 
'dd' and then run fsck on a copy so that it fixes any errors.
