convert 5.25" floppy

When I was getting rid of all the 5.25 inch drives I copied all of the 5.25 inch floppies to 3.5 inch floppies so that I could still have access to them.

But none the less I always keep at least 1 5.25 inch floppy drive around as that are very useful on rare occasions and are the only way to copy some files from the old Media Formats.

If you are really desperate any of the Data Recovery Houses should be able to copy from a 5.25 inch to a 3.5 inch or Thumb Drive but this is likely to cost you far more than what the files are worth.

The longer they have been in business the more likely they have one lying around.

I have two or three in a box somewhere as well as one still installed in a Windows 98 machine for just that purpose.

If you do not live in a big enough city to have a good computer show, search for computer shows on the internet.

Good luck.

Note: if you can find some people that have been in the computer business for a long time, we often do not throw away old hardware. He/she might convert for you.
