Corrupted File on Floppy Disk

I was saving a file from word to my floppy disk. The file
froze. I removed the disk from the machine. I cannot
access the other documents on my disk because it says that
the disk is not formated. What can I do to recover the
other documnets?

Hi gomez

Saving to floppy disk from Word usually results in problems, because Word
uses the floppy as its working directory and attempts to save various temp
files there as well.

Instead, you need to work on the hard disk, and then copy the file to the
floppy.

You might be able to recover something if you copy the files from floppy
back to your hard disk, and try opening them there. Otherwise it's back to
the last backups you made.
