Data Recovery - Floppy

[SilverSliver]

I have a floppy disk I absolutely need the data off of. It consists of 2 zip files. 1 zip files can be removed. The other gives a cyclic redundancy check.

Do I have any options?

First thing is to slide the floppy door open and check for any sign of dust or physical damage. If it's clean, then perhaps spinrite or some other recovery program would work. I'd say just use spinrite because I'm pretty sure it'll do the trick if it's recoverable at all, but it costs 90 bucks

Anything out there that can do it for free? The floppy is missing the door.

Weird, I just kept hammering away at it and it finally copy and pasted over. Interesting.
