Floppy+Discs+on+there+way+out+and+that+is+for+sure

Have you recently tried to access a floppy disk that is 10 years old or more, and fi und that some of the files were no longer readable?.
 * Floppy Discs on there way out and that is for sure. **

Sadly magnetically stored data degrades over time.

Therefore before your data degrades, and floppy disk drives become a thing of the past, you should put that data somewhere else.

I suggest you first make a folder called “Old Floppies ” in your default storage location.

Then copy the contents of the disk into that folder . To save space, you can use compressed folders, or even compress Old Floppies after you have copied everything.

Finally burn it to CD. If you refresh the original disks, and wrap them in shrink wrap, (Refreshing the (floppy) disks means to read every file stored on the disk and re-write it back to the disk.)

There is a way of implementing a “ diskcopy” command in DOS which is similar in so much as you write a new floppy disc. However, you need to be competent with Cmd to do this and if you are not just copy the file back to a floppy from the herd disc.

It is indicative that Sony have stopped production of floppies, and if you want a floppy today on a new m/c you invariably have to order it before purchase.
