does anyone know of a good one?

Ive tried loads but only one has found files on the floppy : "Active@ Floppy Recovery"

Trouble is, I only have the trial version, whcih has the limitation that you can only recover files of about 32kb, since most of the files are 40kb +, no joy.

Does anyone know of any good recovery utilities?

It's not my floppy, its a friends, she has CW on it.

Cheers

If you have access to a linux box, you can try rescue_dd

Getdataback is a great recovery program and has saved me on quite a few occasions, Though it is not free.

The latest version (2.5 trial) of servant salamander has a great undelete option in the plugins menu, Its worth a try.

Servant salamander 2.5

Thats all theyve got.

They had their compuyter formatted, not realising theyd lose their documents.... foolish.

I used Active floppy recovery.

I was only able to rescue one cos it has 32kb file limit on the trial.

Th rest were corrupted anyhow
 
Personally I would have used Nortons Disk Doctor. I been using NDD for years, even in the days of the IBM XT and it's one of the best.
