Hey all,

Im in the process of dumping some Amiga disks to ADF. Some of these are unique disks and yet to be released into the scene, so it's vital that I recover these.

It's taken me a few years to get round to doing this, but now I have some of the disks are no longer working.
A few of them have become rather squeaky/noisy and refuse to boot.

Ive tried making copies of them in X-Copy, seeing a screen of red 2's (which doesnt look good), but no luck there either.

JI was wondering if there is any software that can potentiall restore these disks before it's too late (fingers crossed).
Or if there is something I can do to the disks themselves so they dont squeak & read correctly.

Thanks!
