I saved my file to a floppy, then deleted the file from my hard drive. The
floppy has gone bad, and I want to know if I can restore the original file
that was on my hard drive...
 
It rather depends on what you have saved to your hard drive since you
deleted the file. There are several tools that will recover deleted files -
try a search at google for file undelete.

Note for future reference that saving to floppy disc from Word is one of the
surest ways to ensure document corruption. NEVER do this. Copy to and from
the floppy and always open/save from the hard drive. If Windows will still
see the file structure on the floppy, copy the file to the hard drive and
use the recover any text from file option to try and salvage some of the
content.
