- I have a floppy which has had a physical error in the FAT, i used Norton
- Disk Doctor to try to correct the problem. I was told the problem was
- corrected and the disk still useable, but a low-level format was suggested
- I still can't read anything off the disk, and wonder what can be done so
- that i can retrieve the info. Also, how do i give the disk a low-level
- format, will that destroy the info on the disk?
-
- thanxs in advance
