Wouldn't you prefer something that works instead? Such as DiskSalv (http://aminet.net/package/disk/salv/DiskSalv11_32)

I bet some friendly person can put it on a floppy & post it for some small compensation.


*EDIT* Ah KS 1.3, that rules out DiskSalv.

I agree with Piru. Diskdoctor was hideous. I can't remember a single time that it actually worked. I do, however, vividly remember it screwing up anything it touched. DiskSalv would be a much better option.

 Quarterback Tools don't do the trick in OS1.3?

DISKDOCTOR: Hello, what can I help you with today?
DISK: Umm, well, it's rather embarrassing actually
DISKDOCTOR: I'm sure it's nothing I've never seen before. Let's take a look.
DISK: [shows filthy corrupt data to DiskDoctor]
DISKDOCTOR: Oh dear, that's all going to have to come off I'm afraid
DISK: What?! Isn't there anything you can do? Can't it be repaired?
DISKDOCTOR: No, sorry.
DISK: But you haven't even tried!
DISKDOCTOR: Yeah, I know. Well, you can always get more data.
DISK: But....

Disk Doctor was an invention of the devil. I have an older version of Quarterback tools that runs on my 1.3.3 Workbench on an A1000. The numbers on the back of the disk are:
150   03143

Amiback tools crashes like crazy on this system (must need 2.0)
