Hello to all the people of this forum !
As you can see im am not only new to this forum but also new to debian and linux in general.
My name is Constantine and here is my short story with linux and how i got to install debian jessie 8 on my 2nd hard drive.
Some person from where i work introduced me to debian jessie linux 8 because i needed to copy an old (1st gen) SCSI hard drive and he told me that the best way to it is using the dd command from the terminal (su, fdisk -l, dd). Further more he gave me this debian jessie install cd because according to what he said it will be compatible with my very old hdd. Actually his advice proved very useful and copy was sucesfull.
This is pretty much all the experience i have with debian jessie 8 and linux in general.
A few days ago i found a box with my old floppy disks dating back to 1992. I started copying them to save their contents. I found a set of setup disks for windows 3.1but disk 2 has a few bad blocks. I read about the badblocks command and used it to find the bad bloks numbers. Further google search lead me to 2fsck command that obviously does not work with whatever file system the floppy uses (probably fat 16).
Could someone guide me on what to do to recover the floppy ?
I am sure i will need to do the same in the future with the rest of my floppys.
Thank you so much and have a nice day.
