Disks give errors, duh. Whatever you use to image a disk, use it as a first attempt, as
that may be the ONLY chance to save the contents. People put a disk in the drive, do a
directory scan, screw around some more. And then the disk is no longer readable. It
happens. Just bang it with whatever program you got before worrying what's on it.
At this point in time, this is advisable for almost any magnetic media any of us would be
working with. Though I’ll admit I have looked at a couple of the disks before imaging
them, I’m trying to remember to image first, then read the image.
