One would think that very few people are still using 3.5 inch floppy disks. Still many of us have hundreds of these disks and on these disks are important Microsoft Word and digital image files. File Finder will quite easily assist you in rescuing files from floppy disks. As with any File Finder recovery project, you will begin by inserting the digital media which in this case is the floppy disk into its drive. Next load the special File Finder recovery disk into your computer’s CD/DVD disk drive.
Now restart your computer and File Finder should load its own version of Windows onto your computer. You will know this portion of the startup is complete when you see the familiar File Finder digital device splash screen. Next use the start menu to open the File Finder recovery program itself. Your download package includes an illustrated set of instructions on doing all of this. Once File Finder has opened on your desktop choose from the drop down select menu your floppy disk drive. Click on the find files button and File Finder will scan through any floppy disk you have inserted. Remember, even quality floppy disk recovery software such as the File Finder program will be limited by the time it takes for the now somewhat obsolete magnetic disk inside of your 3.5 inch floppy to rotate and be scanned. In under a minute File Finder will return to you a list of not only the files stored on that floppy disk but any files that were placed on that disk and deleted.
