Help/HardError
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
** HARDERROR ** This program is intended for use in the rare case that there is a permanent disc error on a floppy disc. You may not wish to reformat the disc, but would want to avoid the "Disc Error" messages generated when the bad track is accessed. HARDERROR will remove the sector from the "Free Space Map", the list of sectors which ADFS can use to store files. If the sector does not appear in the FS Map (see if it is there by typing *MAP), it will be occupied by a file. Before running HARDERROR, you must delete this file. If the file is a directory, the disc would be left in an inconsistent state so it is better to save the files you need onto another disc and try to reformat the disc with the error. To use the program, the bad disc must be on the current drive. You may find a "Bad sector" error when loading a file, for instance. ADFS will give you the sector number of the START of the file where the error occurred, not of the bad sector itself. Use the utility FindBadSec to locate the actual sector(s) where the error occurred.
