Can I repair my NDOS floppy disk using the image file created by WHDLoad's RawDIC?

Isn't that the one that needs special hardware? I think X-Copy Pro was the best one which didn't need a dongle. I could be wrong though.

If the A4000 can't read it now, then you won't be able to copy it - you'll need to find out what's supposed to be on that track!

Note that RawDIC doesn't image the whole disc, it skips the copy protection tracks completely as it doesn't need it (WHDLoad removes the check), so if the dead track is the protection track I'm afraid you can't do anything at all....

Your best bet would be to find out what the WHDload imager does, maybe the person who wrote it can help?

Hmmm... Looks like this Amiga battle could be lost unless the WHDLoad guys can be of help.


Yes, the Synchro Express does have the special hardware dongle which you plug onto your external floppy drive port and then plug on the drive itself

Thanks again spirantho

I've had luck inspecting floppy disk surfaces through the little window and finding spots of whatever on the disks and removing the spots gently with a cotton swap dipped in rubbing alcohol.  I'd say it's a last resort, though.

That's worth a try thanks tone007

Another vote for this. I've found all sorts of weird crap living on the disc surface. After so many years, you have to expect physical contamination.
