Extending a similar theme, anyone have (or recommend) a utility to salvage some data files off a floppy disk.

Disks gives us the 'it's not formatted' message.

Do a search on "undelete" & you'll get a load of shareware/freeware utilities that may be of help. I've always managed to recover deleted files from one or other of the utilities there.

 

But I don't need an undelete util. The files haven't been formatted or deleted. The disk is faulty/bad sectors and won't read properly.

Would these utilities mark bad clusters and recover the actual data?

Have a look at some of them...

They recover from reformatted & unformatted partitions etc so I'd've thought may be of use to you in your quest

Have a look, worth a quick search
