Title: ADF Question
Post by: trekiej on May 09, 2021, 06:47:03 AM

If I use an ADF creator software to make an adf of a floppy disk will it copy errors?

Depends on the type of the error.
If it is a checksum error the tool might ignore it or let you decide to ignore.
If the disk has serious reading fails then the ADF creator will stop reading or try to skip the faulty block. In both cases the resulting ADF is incomplete.

As far as I can tell, the software did not complain.
Maybe the chances are favorable.
