Default RE: how to retrieve information that was saved on a floppy disk?

Check the content of the disk via Windows Explorer. If the file is there,
copy it to your hard drive and then try to open it. If it does not open, it
may have become corrupt. Don't ever try to edit a file on any removable
medium (diskette, CD), as it can become corrupt very easily.

If you do not see the file on the diskette, you may have saved it by
accident in another location.
