I have a floppy disk which has somehow corrupted. The files on there are all now named with what looks like 'webding' style characters. I can't access any of the files (mainly Word Docs).
1. Why does this happen?
2. Can anyone recommend any FREEWARE utility that will recover the files?

Yes! - No viruses

You can try the evaluation copy of BadCopy Pro to recover your files.
Here is the url:http://www.jufsoft.com/
Hope this helps...:0)
Yes, found that previously - it only allows you to see if files are recoverable but then you have to purchase full copy to use it. For the rarity of the situation I was rather hoping to find a FREEWARE prog for the job. Thanks

Already tried that one - the files can't be copied/moved

Some available recovery software does not work with floppy disk.
Try:
1. Change your floppy drive, or open your disk from other computers (if possible on a LAN).
2. Open your word document from word 97.
I finally managed to recover some data with one of many freebie tools I tried.
Thanks to all for suggestions
