It's possible, but youmay need to spend money out your whazoo to get your
data back.
 
I suspect that only boot sector is bad, if it is tree

Download hex editor from http://xedit.smike.ru it has option to
read/write disk sectors,
including whole floppy into the file
File menu->Read Whole Floppy
1. read your floppy 1 (bad sectors will be substituted by spaces with
not valid data)
2. if FAT table and directories are ok
save this into to good floppy (File menu->Read to Floppy)
3. now remove new floppy 2 (it still has bad boot sector)
4. set another good formated floppy 3, read boot sector (File
menu->Read disk sector)
5. set the second floppy overwrite boot sector (File menu->Write disk
sector)
