Description by Publisher
files and data from DriveSpace 3 CVFs (those .000 or .001 files) that
have been corrupted beyond the ability of ScanDisk to repair. It is
meant to assist someone who already has a good understanding of how data
is stored on (ordinary, uncompressed) hard drives in manually recovering
otherwise inaccessible compressed cluster data from within damaged CVFs,
and then in piecing the recovered clusters back together into files.
The kit contains a ReadMe file which explains how the programs work and
how to use them, as well as explaining how drive data is organised
within a DriveSpace 3 CVF. The programs themselves are command line
utilities, and do not require Windows. They were written in Borland
Pascal 7.0, and the source code has been included.
Note that this kit is intended for DriveSpace 3. This is the version
that shipped with Windows 95 OEM 2, with the Windows 95 PlusPak!, and
with Windows 98. The programs have not been tested on earlier versions
of DriveSpace, and probably would not work. Nevertheless, the
information included in the kit may still be useful to someone
attempting data recovery on an earlier-version CVF, and the programs
could probably be modified appropriately with little effort.
Special requirements: DriveSpace 3.
