Can't understand why from hard disk works but floppy no!
« on: May 02, 2009, 05:48:48 PM »
Hello,

Today I found an old floppy disk on which there where some documents saved. I inserted the floppy and after some strange noises and some error messages I finally got its contents listed. I clicked on the document I wanted to open. Words Worth loaded but then told me the disk had some error and that the document could not open.

I therefore opened DirectoryOpus and moved the contents of the disk to the hard disk (this also gave me a lot of error messages). I then tried to open the document from hard disk and it opened without any problem!

Why? If the document had invalid bytes on disk then shouldn't those have been copied as well?

Regards,
