$ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdc -t vfatĮrror mounting /dev/sdc: GDBus.Error.

As it is recognized by all OSes with no problem but just do not want to read floppies.Īlso udisks generates same error. I’m starting to feel that it’s the actual drive problem. It will not fulfill my project (as I need a modern PC) but at last I will test if this drive works.ĮDIT: Knoppix 8.2 w/ 4.16.5 kernel gives me exact same errors. Disk Drill supports all major file systems (NTFS, FAT, FAT32, exFAT, EXT3/EXT4/, HFS, APFS) and lets you recover up to 500 MB for free. What if I test some very old Knoppix? Those days floppies were still around. If you can’t access your external hard drive without formatting, you should use a software solution like Disk Drill Hard Drive Recovery to recover all important files from it. And I need USB as non of my computers (even servers) do not have floppy connection (it wasn’t ATA as I recall but still I only have SATA and SAS connectors). I read a lot here and there and most Linux programs do not support USB drives. If you're lucky, the system might even be able to deduce where the "lost" file(s) are on the diskette even without the entire Directory or FAT info, and recover the file, too.I bought a new, unsealed pack of FDDs. Sometimes you lose a file, but not all the disk's data. These disks are not recognized and cannot be accessed in Windows Explorer or in common file manager - these applications report 'Disk is not formatted' error when you attempt to read floppy disk contents. Often only a portion of the key system files (Directory and FAT) are damaged / corrupted, and the software can recover everything else. Non-standard floppy disks are disks with designs stored in special format. Often these systems first make a copy of the entire diskette's contents to another device (like a folder in your HDD), then go about trying to make sense of the data. Thus the disk and its data are not readable using "normal" procedures.Īs others have said, the solution is some data recovery software, and it MUST be capable of working with a floppy diskette and drive. That indicates corruption of some of the basic data in the Directory and FAT tables of the disk, OR actual physical damage to a part of those tracks. The problem is that the drive cannot make any sense of the data it is reading. The problem is NOT that it has not been formatted. Do NOT Format it now, as you already know!Īs happens often, the error message you are seeing is misleading. IF you are correct in saying that the floppy contains data, then is most certainly HAS BEEN FORMATTED! No data could be written until the formatting was done.
