[gui-talk] [nfbcs] help with unreadable floppy

[Steve Jacobson]

Cindy,

Before you do too much in terms of recovering, it is very common for a floppy diskette to not be readable on some drives but readable on others.  See if you can find 
other drives to try it on before thinking you have to do some other kind of recovery.  This is worth a try even it it read all right on your current drive.

the cds that contained the information from this disk.
