You can slave that drive into another machine and try to extract the data that way. You cna also use a Linux Live CD and boot from that in the floppy and either burn your files to a CD (if you have a CDRW also), copy them to a pen drive, across a network to another machine that has a burner, etc. The advantage to this is that you don't even have to open the computer case. www.slax.org for a free download that you can burn as an ISO with Nero or some other program.

Try this. Another poster used it after I posted it and said it worked great. http://www.cgsecurity.org/index.html?testdisk.html http://computervitals.com/

Linux can be a life saver. Had a hard disk that wouldn't boot because the directory apparently was destroyed. Biited off a Linux CD. Linux doesn't care about Windows directories but can see individual Windows data files so I was able to recover the important ones.
