[LI] Recover from faulty floppy disk

["Prasad Mhatre" <Prasad@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Can anyone suggest a method to recover damage file from a floppy disk?

I have some important text file in a floppy which was working perfectly,
all of a sudden it show I/O error and after doing some fschk on the floppy
it shows


drwxr-xr-x   7 root     root         1024 Jun  9 09:52 ./
drwxr-xr-x   5 root     root         1024 Jun 17 12:05 ../
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         1024 Jun  9 00:15 boot/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         1024 Aug 31 11:18 dev/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         1024 Jun  9 14:58 etc/
drwxr-xr-x   9 root     root        12288 Jun  9 00:15 lost+found/
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       454325 Oct 14  1998 vmlinuz-2.0.36-0.7

In fact I had some sub-directories and some other files on the floppy and
not the one mentioned above.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Love and regards
Prasad
