RootARipper & RipARoot

2003-11-19 by midi_magic2000

Hi All

They are HERE, at last. Well I've had them for a while now but now we 
can pass them on.

A very good friend of mine has just finished writing two small 
utilities for "floppy disk recovery" that may be of interest to the 
group.
Both of these are Freeware. Please send me your feedback as it is 
nice to know how well they perform.
 
Basically they will read a floppy that has a bad or missing boot 
sector, taking the files from the root directory and saving them to 
your HDD.
One is for NT, 2000 and XP and the other is for DOS. Sorry, but we do 
not have it working for Win 95, 98 nor ME yet.
 
DKVCOPY and Giebler will work but  you must use 720K disks. They will 
NOT read or work with 1.44M disks. These programs will work with 720K 
and 1.44M disks.

RootARipper works for NT, 2000 and XP
RipARoot    Works for DOS 

NO MORE HAVING TO USE 720K Disks.

I have posted them to the files section.
