Floppy Disk Recovery

[KeyserSosa]

Does any know of a program that can be used to recover data from a damaged floppy disk. Floppy drive does not recognize disk and asks to format but there is definately info on the disk. Any ideas?

I can send you a small ( 28kb ) repair file if you still need . John at , jmatt@webace.com.au

If the Norton Disk Doctor (part of Norton Utilities, www.Symantec.com) can't recover it, then you will need to contact a professional data recovery company... $$$.

You could also try Norton Disk Editor for low-level disk viewing and management.
