I have recovered hard drives in the past, this one is amazing...
Um...unless I am mistaken, DOS wrote to drives pretty much the same basic way Windows does. What causes fragmentation (files saved in bits over a non-consecutive area of the drive) is saving/deleting/saving/ etc. over time. DOS used a file allocation table (FAT 12 or 16) much the way Windows uses NTFS.

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.
