I took a job restoring a computer with Windows ME the other day. Before I took the computer, I asked whether there was any sensitive data on the computer that needed to be backed up. The answer was no. So, I went ahead and reinstalled WinMe on the computer after a full reformat. I reinstalled Quicken and was handed floppy disks to restore the files. Well, you geeks probably know what happened. Floppy number one failed. Now, I need to find a way to restore years of financial records. They had tried using a Cruzer thumb drive to back up the files, but Cruzers are notorious for being a PITA, so they did not do it.
Does anybody know what the best way to approach this problem is? I’m looking for a utility to try and fix the issue that way. But, if that fails, I wonder if there is a way to restore some of the information on the disks that are still good. I am researching to see what other solutions are out there.
