Guys need quick help recovering some files off of a floppy disk - any options here ?

Hey guys, I've got a floppy disk with an essay on it. Unfortunetly the disk says that it has been 'corrupted' when I try to access the file. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could get this file ?

Got an old win9x? machine? Run a scandisk on it from the programs--->accessories--->system tools menu

go to www.ontrack.com

Hold another floppy above this one, and use a strong magnet to pull all the data from the bottom one to the top one!





Or, if scandisk and other repair utilities fail, as well as data recovery utilities, you can always resort to using a diskeditor to ignore corrupted parts and just copy raw data off it.

I did something similar two weeks ago. Download Knoppix, boot it up and try opening the files. Worked for me. Yay Linux!
