Library of Congress now says that there is no data on the disk.

Maybe they can claim a copyright to Windows 95 as "it was on the
disk".

Did they send in a blank disk? Did they send in a disk and it went bad? Is the
Library the official store for the copyright office?

It will be interesting to see where this is going.

If it was a floppy disk, and they ran it through a photocoper to make the
above-mentioned copy of the front of the disk, the photocopier may have wiped
it. It's been known to happen.

Most likely explanation is that it is not a windows file
system ... and checked on windows

If the disk is a cdrom then it is possible that it is in the old Sun format of
512 byte sectors instead of the normal 2048 byte sectors. That used to catch me
in the old days when i wanted to replace a Sun cdrom. I had to find one that
was jumper selectable for 512 byte sectors on my SUN and Digital machines. The
other thing they used to do was create multiple slices on the cdrom and then put
different linkages of the Solaris kernel in the various slices such that they
could boot on the different sparc platforms they supported.

Not that it seems they need this, but couldn't it be sent out for data recovery?
