[RESOLVED] Recovering corrupt floppy disk!!
I have a floppy disk with some important data on. The person who owns it has made no backups and the disk is now corrupt.
Does anyone know of a way to recover a corrupt floppy disk? - It is just asking to reformat at the moment

I'm not sure, but you might be able to run scandisk on floppies.

Also, a program called Hexplorer can read bytes from a disk, so you might be able to get something if you know the format of a floppy disk and of the file that were within it.

I am very frsutrated. All the tools I have found so far will display the files but want me to pay them money to get them back. I have had a look at that hex thing but I can't make much sense of it.

Did you try Norton Disk Doctor? It used to be good at that sort of thing. You could zip the disk and send it to me.

Re: Recovering corrupt floppy disk!!
After about six hours of searching I found a program called PC Inspector File Recovery which did the job of recovering the disk fine. Here's the link to the download if anyone is interested:

Too bad I didnt see your thread earlier, but I use Winternals File Restore.
It can recover files from formatted hds, deleted files, etc.
