Help to recovery floppy files

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Using WinXP SP2. I have a .DOC file on a floppy disk that somehow got corrupted and can not be accessed. I get the error "disk not formatted". There are commercial file recovery utilities which cost money and I can not justify to pay to recover just one file.
What can I do to recover that file from the floppy?
Any free Microsoft utilities?
Thanks,
Nathan
