8" Floppy Disk Data Transfer and Recovery Services

Still have valuable data files on old 8 Inch floppies laying around and want to access, archive their content, or transfer the data to CD DVD or other media?

In most cases, the data can be transferred using our full Data Recovery process. Successful outcome is dependent on the physical condition of the floppy disk and data surface, the equipment and drive used to originally create the disks, and the operating system originally used on the disk.

How it works:

1. Send us your old 8" floppy disks
2. Our engineers will review and analyze your disks using our Disk Copy Data Transfer Service. Successful outcome is based upon a number of factors.
3. If the data transfer is successful, the recovered data will be mastered to a CD and shipped back to you.

For additional information including rates, turnaround times, and any questions you have on our 8" floppy disk data recovery and transfer services, contact us.

Please number and mark your 5.25" floppy disks 1, 2, 3, ... and make / keep (for your own use) an inventory list of your disks, so that you know the content of disk 1, 2, ... etc.

Be sure you include your valid email address. Your data is copied to zip archives and emailed to the address you provide.

We will read your disks and pack their content into a ZIP archive, one ZIP file for each disk, named Disk1.zip for Disk2.zip ..., etc. The disk's DOS directory structure will be preserved.

If you supply a password with your order, it will be used to encrypt the ZIP archive. 

The ZIP archive files will be sent to you via e-Mail, one mail per ZIP file, sent as an attachment. At your request, we can also mail a CD version of your data.

After sending the ZIP emails to you, your original disks and copies of the mails will be held on our servers for 7 days, in case something went wrong with the process and you want us to check again. On the 8th day after sending out the ZIP archive emails, all copies of the sent ZIP emails will be deleted and we will destroy your floppy disks magnetically and then mechanically by cutting them into small pieces.

If you would like your original floppies returned to you instead of being destroyed, please enclose an additional shipping fee as listed on the submission form.

If you want us to put your ZIP files on a CD instead of emailing them, please note this in the appropriate place on your submission form.

Your media and data is strictly confidential. We do not keep any copies of your data files.

Please be aware that your floppy discs are very old now and that we therefore cannot guarantee that your old disks will be technically readable at all. In case that some of your floppy disks are technically unreadable, we will send you an letter about this fact. ("Unable to read and recover the content of disk 1"). Because we will try hard on every disk, no handling or processing fees can be refunded.

We can read both 360 kB and 1.2 MB floppies. If they are not DOS formatted but have other formats (CP/M), we offer to investigate, how a specific format can be read.

Please note that this Disk Copy Service is for standard format "PC" or "IBM" formats, 256 byte sector disks. Other floppy disks including Commodore, TRS, Televideo, etc. should be submitted using the standard Data Recovery Submission Form. If these formats are submitted for Standard Disk Copy Service, we will make an attempt to read them, yet cannot guarantee the results.
