JFileRecovery - Copy files from damaged media

Today I completed JFileRecovery, another useful application that helps extract files from damaged hard drives, CDs, DVDs and Flash media. Unlike other file recovery tools JFileRecovery works by assuming that reading data from damaged parts takes much longer. These parts are skipped and the user is given the option of retrying to copy the damaged regions more intensely later. Because the copy is block based, copying can continue around cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors. This means you can even drill a hole through a cd with an AVI movie on and JFileRecovery can still get the AVI off (albeit with a few bad frames).

Anyway, check it out. I have set up a new sub-domain and website here:

I've never had trouble with CD's and flash drives, but with floppy disks I've had A LOT of errors and things like that. From your description it doesn't seem that floppy disks are supported, is it possible to add this functionality? If so, then it would be nice if you did add that. If not, how does cd data recovery differ from that of a floppy diskette?

Floppy disk? whats one of those? Seriously though, JFileRecovery will work with any format that data can be stored on. The reason I did not mention floppy disks was because not many people use them any more. Also, JFileRecovery is aimed at copying large media files (where a few bytes missing does not matter) You cant even fit an mp3 on a floppy disk!

Yea, but I have a lot of old files on floppies that are just there, but many of them are corrupt, so I can't see if theres anything important on them.

I much fewer corrupt CD's, and NO corrupt flash drives...

well anyways this is a great software
