Need some software to attempt floppy disk data recovery

Found an old floppy with some pics I would like to get at, but as I suspected, I am having trouble reading the data.

None of my floppy disks work either, but I think it's the drives not the disks themselves. Have you tried a known good drive? Another idea - I remember the springs in the sliding covers used to break, or the covers would get stuck somehow, and i'd end up taking them off and using it without a cover just to get the data.

Floppies die all the time, they are very, very unreliable. if the drive can't read it, the drive can't read it. Software can't make it magically work.
