Alkonost MaxFormat
By Alkonost Software
Alkonost MaxFormat enables you to format floppy disks to maximum capacity with maximum efficiency. MaxFormat can format floppies to the current standard formats for 3.5 inch disks of 1.4MB and 720K, 5.25 inch disks of 1.2MB and 360K, plus additional non-standard formats: 1.72MB and 1.68MB DMF (3.5 inch disks) and 1.5MB (5.25 inch disks). The DMF (1.68MB) format is often used for distribution floppies under Windows 95/98/Me and Windows NT/2000. MaxFormat determines the type and number of floppy drives on your system and provides very fast formatting with the optimal sectors interleave to increase reading/writing speeds. You can create diskettes that are quicker than the diskettes formatted by Windows explorer! In addition to formatting floppies, MaxFormat can also duplicate diskettes with standard and non-standard formats, create the exact "track by track" diskette images, verify, make bootable under Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP (even with DMF formats!), clear disks, format only when needed and copy files and whole directories to the diskette automatically after formatting. Non-standard formats provide you with extra storage space. The additional disk space is often enough to allow you to squeeze marginal files onto standard floppy disks and save you the trouble of fragmenting the file or compressing it. MaxFormat is ideal for those times when just a few extra kilobytes can make a difference! However, MaxFormat is also useful for normal formatting operations, as it offers a number of unique features to make working with your diskettes more convenient and effective.
Splitty
By Basta Computing, Inc.
The problem with files these days is disk size; floppy, zip and even CD-ROM disks have a modest capacity, especially when "small" downloads are often several megabytes in size and average ones are much larger. Even word processor files have been growing at an alarming rate, with embedded fonts and graphics bloating the file size. Splitty enables you to reliably divide large files into smaller manageable files that can be easily transferred over the Internet, or stored on floppy disks or other modest storage media. Splitty is not just another file splitter, it has been optimized for speed, security, and efficiency. A checksum algorithm verifies the length and consistency of the split file, thus safely avoiding any file corruption issues. A packaging feature is included to facilitate the distribution of split files by not requiring Splitty to recover the original file. Drag and drop the files you wish to split onto Splitty, push a button and leave the rest to Splitty.
ANALYZER for RECOVER Floppy Pro
By Systech Software
Recursive disk level data recovery analysis software for bad Floppy Disks. Single recursive run lists all files having a folder entry from an inaccessible floppy disk. Listed files and orphaned files can be recovered by using RECOVER Floppy Pro v1.0. Meant for floppy disks that generate ''Drive A: is not accessible'' or ''The disk in drive A: is not formatted'' error in WINDOWS. Runs from a DOS box in WINDOWS XP / 2000 / ME / 98 / 98SE / 95 / 95 OSR2. Depending on the version of the WINDOWS OS, a bad Boot Sector on a floppy disk generates ''Drive A: is not accessible'' or ''The disk in drive A: is not formatted'' error in WINDOWS. ''Drive A: is not accessible'' error means one of these other problems too: 1) ''Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)'' 2) ''''The system cannot read from the specified device'' 3) ''The requested sector is not found''. Mainly a bad Boot Sector and/or some other bad sectors in the system area of the floppy disk cause this error (again depending on the WINDOWS version): ''The disk in drive A: is not formatted Do you want to format it now''. These are not big problems. There is no need to find bad sectors by yourself. There is no need to look at sector contents by yourself. And there is no need to make any decisions by yourself regarding what to recover, and what content belongs to what file. Analyzer for RECOVER Floppy Pro lists files with their cluster size and fragmentation status. This shows that this much of info is still available on the bad floppy. This ability to list the lost files ensures that your precious files can be recovered by using RECOVER Floppy Pro v1.0 (just $21 USD). In the case of a reformatted floppy disk, the analyzer can only list files having a folder entry. But RECOVER Floppy Pro can recover these orphaned files too giving them new names when they are recovered.

f2xml
By Boulderwall Software
Do you need better control over your filesystem? f2xml provides that control. f2xml creates customised XML, HTML or TEXT based reports on your file system or removable storage (CD''s, floppy disks, etc). The HTML and TEXT based output provide self contained reports. The XML format allows for further analysisthrough XSLT to provide whatever details you need from your file system. GUI, command line and DLL interface are provided. f2xml provides detailed information on what is stored on your disk(s) and allowing a wide variety of disk based tasks and reports, such as: Finding zero length (empty) files Listing duplicate files Sorting files and folders to find the largest files. Keep track of all files stored on CD''s, or floppy disks such that they can be accessed without re-loading the media (eg for large music collections archived to CD). For example, when you write a new CD, run f2xml against the CD to list the contents as a web page. Save that to a ''CD'' folder so that you can quickly find items from it later. Extract images from a file hierarchy and present as a web page, or set of web pages. Create web pages with thumbnail images, linking to the full images. Find all MP3 music files on your disk. Fast file searches looking for file names, sizes, those created in the last hour, content, etc. The output may be further refined. For example, to search for all DLL''s, then run a second utility to check that each DLL is the current version. Provides a base set of functionality for a customized disk management capability -- delete all backup files, show me the new files since the last snapshot was taken, what new dll''s have been placed on my system...
FinalRecovery File Undelete Utility
By MeetSoft
FinalRecovery is a powerful and convenient data recovery solution.
