dakotart Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Whats that? I think they stopped making them in 1985 or so. for some reason somebody at work has data on a 5.25" floppy disc that they want moved to a CD. If the data is still even in tact.

dakotart Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 HD or DD? I didn't even remember that there was a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 HD = 1.2 meg storage size DD = 360k storage space SD = can't remember but it sucked... the way to tell the difference in the disks is, if you look in the center ring of the floppy, HD does not have a collar type of deal around the center cutout, DD does have the collar and SD only have one side clipped where DD and HD have both sides clipped (keep in mind one side is write protect, the other side signifies whether it is SD or not. SD = Single Density DD = Double Density HD = High Density Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
