You *may* be able to recover some of the files from that disc with file
recovery software.

Have tried that before, and have now tried again. Just asks if I
want to format disK. So I guess you are right, in that the files are
lost.

If you have tried opening Word documents on the floppy directly from
Word, or the files were originally put there by saving direct from
Word, then chances are the floppies are coprrupt and your files are
lost.
Trying using Explorer to copy the files from floppy to your hard
disk; the try opening them from there. If you can't do that original
copy, throw the floppy away and rationalise away the ostensible
importance of those files. By definition, if you've lost them they
are not important.

I have a number of floppy's made on my old computer - Win 98 with
Word 2002 -
which will not open on the new computer with Win XP/Word 2003.
Message which
comes up says disk not formatted for Windows. Yet I have other
floppies which will open, no problems! Is the floppy corrupted? Or
is there another trick to open these floppies? They are the most
important files I have on floppy, of course!
