hey i am having some trouble. i have a disk intercepter that reads floppys and its really old but i can still be put to good use. i have some files on the computer that are to big and dont fit on a floppy. any suggestion. i wanted to split them into 2 but i dont know how. also i was thinking that i could unformat a disk so that is would have 2mb instead of 1.44mb so i could fit it but thats not working. well can you help me thanks
You can use the File Splitter a FREE software that in the old days we had to split programs to put on 1.44 floppies !! It's here still and free : - http://www.dekabyte.com/filesplitter/ Takes any files... splits it in as many 1.44 floppies thats needed.. you feed the floppies in and you ended up with the file stored on X numbers... ! To reconstruct you load all floppies in a folder and click the reconstruction engine in the last one. Enjoy!
thanks for your advice...by the way how did you know about this floppy spliiter thingy??? just wonderign becuase no body in there right mind uses floppys anymore...wait that didnt come out right
The original version of Windows 3 and Windows 95' that i still have but of course no longer use, came on a series of 27 floppies that you had to feed one by one to install the O/S on PC in the early 90' -- There is also a floppie expander that makes it hold a bit more then 2.2 by formatting a concentrated imprint ! However this caused a few loss of data on some PC so people went for the file splitter ! Regards..
well thanks. well can you tell me how to farmat it so that is hold more becuase i tryed your idea about splitting it but it changes the file format so that the intercepter cant read it. i am trying to change the format but to no prevail. if you could tell me that would be great but if you can i will keep on trying to change the format
To format so it will hold more data.. you need another program... that you may find online yet -- It was not very popular but if you try in Google , you may find it on some websites .. the words would be "floppy 1.44 to 2.2 format" -- I have doubts your interceptor would be able to cope with this ! Good luck , my friend, maybe someone in here may have another solution for you !
alright thanks alot i hope it will work. my intercepter an read no format disks so i am pretty sure that it will be able read this format. well thanks alot.
