Hi,

I just received a boxed ThunderScan (the little device that turns an ImageWriter printer into a scanner) off ebay, but am having software issues.

The 400k disk would only read in my Classic II, all other computers would say "This disk is unreadable. Do you want to initialise it?". Of course, me being stupid, I did not take this as a sign and immediately back it up on the working Classic II.

Now, it will not read on any of my computers, even the Classic II. It just asks if I want to initialise it.

Is there any way of recovering this disk? I know that the information is still relatively OK, as it did read fine on the Classic II yesterday.

Thanks,

danda
