Hello

Pretty once that happens your out of luck, you can try it on
another pc and see what happens or run Norton's Utilities and
see if that work.

Hi,

Try insert the floppy to other floppy drive and open the files. If it can't be open, no hope.

A dirty/worned floppy disk head may cause damages to the FAT file format on the floppy disk and make it unreadable.
If the floppy drive is too old, buy a new floppy drive, $10.- only.
Or you can try to clean the floppy head by using a floppy cleaning disk with cleaning fluid.
