Latest version of HD-COPY - China DOS Union Forum - China DOS Union

Although it was downloaded, I haven't used it for a long time.

Tried it today, and it doesn't feel too good. It doesn't seem as powerful and convenient as I remembered.

So I found the tool disk I bought before (bought in 1997, it's been 10 years!), there are three versions about HD on it, 2.0, 2.2, 2.3. I used 2.3 and found that it is indeed better than this 2.5 version. The specific situations are as follows:

1. The 2.3 version has no problem of the floppy drive light being on for a long time. When using the 2.5 version under XP (not tested under pure DOS), the floppy drive light is on for a long time, and the software needs to read the floppy drive first, and the time to read the first sector of the disk is obviously longer;

2. Formatting floppy disks. I dug out 21 old floppy disks, and formatted each one with the 2.5 version (complete format, that is, select the + sign) 1.44M. As a result, 7 were not formatted successfully, and it prompted not to use them again. Used the 2.3 version to format these 7 disks again, 5 were repaired, and after copying software testing, there was no problem, only 2 prompted not to use them again. In addition, the ability to identify and repair bad sectors is obviously stronger than the 2.5 version. It only takes 1 second to repair or mark when a bad sector is found, while the 2.5 version has to try repeatedly many times and finally give up.

Your download space is all empty, and the private directory requires a password.

I also didn't find the hdcopy download address. I need to write DOS to a floppy disk under XP. If anyone has hdcopy, please send me one. [email protected]
