Best tool for repairing disks?

Haven't you had it very often? You want to create an ADF of a 3,5" disk, and the disk is full of defective sectors/tracks. Which tool(s) do you use for repairing disks? I guess there are much better solutions as "diskdoctor" (which does not really "repair") ... - I would be grateful for any useful hints!

Best regards,

Flachkoepper

I always go for fixdisk first too for OFS/FFS volumes, but it can only handle volumes up to 44MB in size.

DiskSalv, QuarterBack tools and Amiback tools rule.. Out of these I probably use ABTools most.

All of these only work on Commodore provided filesystems.

Oh, and always fix a copy of the original and never run diskdoctor against any disk. :-)
