[NBLUG/talk] floppy recovery

[Sean]

I have a floppy disk whose FAT partition has become damaged. It is a
new disk, so I'd like to think the data is there and just not
readable.

I'd prefer to recover the data off of the floppy (it's not critical,
but will save time), but I can't get fdisk to read it and my KDE
desktop can't open it. I am not able to mount the floppy, and after
trying for awhile the system gives me an error stating that I need to
specify the partition type.

Does anyone know of a process or program that I can use to recover the data?

This has definitely taught me to not rely on floppies for even
semi-important data for even short-term needs.
