Undelete floppy disk data?

[Chaos Master]

Hello people.

Is there any free program to recover data from a formatted floppy disk? I
formated one (with games) by stupidity.

I think you'd need software which the CIA or the FBI uses... But my
knowledge on this is pretty old, and things might have changed.

Unfortunately, no longer freeware:

"This program is no longer Freeware (there may exist older versions,
but these contain errors and does not correspond to the newest
developments)."

The author sends you to a commercial program site and you can only get
demoware there:

"Please note that the demo will allow you to view the files but not
recover them. To recover the files, you will need to purchase the full
version."

Instead, Chaos Master should try one of the programs listed here:

Hmmm, Drive Rescue is by far the leading download I have. I've never
seen anything about bugs for FAT volumns. The NTFS wasn't completed in
the last freeware version, but I'll bet it will recover a FAT floppy:

Oh great, thanks for the heads-up John, think I'll keep my old version
somewhere safe

That was a direct cut and paste quote from the website.

Or try one of these listed above.

I use Restore 2.5.14, myself.
