floppy

[SamBarry]

Hi. Is it possible to re-gain lost files from a floppy disc?

It depends. Some will have bad sectors or some may be completely dead. You could try some data recovery program. I find floppys very unreliable. You should keep a backup on you computer too.

it's not mine, it's for a friend of mine! what recovery programme's do you recommend?
