Hi All,

I've got a floppydisk of 1,44 Mb which is bad. I got it open and it seemed
that the ireon middle-part wasn't attachted to the actual data-round.
Well, my idea was to use some glue to mend this but the disk still can't be
read. The drive produces a kind of scraping sound but isn't able to read it.
In the windows-explorer it gives the error that the floppy isn't formated.
In DOS it just can't be read. It contains a couple of Word documents
I've looked around on the internet, but haven't found a satisfiying answer
yet.
The floppy is owned by my boss and it would realy make a big impression if I
could manage to get some data back.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor English.
Bye

Jill.

Your boss is screwed. Want to make an impression? Try explaining the
proper way to store data that he cares about (a floppy ain't it).
