Is there a free or cheap file recovery utility that will fit on a boot
floppy?

The cheapest one that I have found costs $49.95, and I think that's a bit
steep.

FileSaver

208K and like $12. Runs fine on my 2K; dunno what you're running.
You are possibly aware that a DOS boot floppy will not see an NTFS
hard drive without additional software running on the boot floppy?
And of course fitting on a boot floppy and running from a DOS boot are
2 vastly different things.....

There is a program called "Uneraser" that will fit, and run, on a bootable
floppy. It will read both FAT and NTFS partitions. Cost: $50.
