Lost data on Floppy

[Damok666]

Hello all, could anyone tell me if they know a way to recover data from a floppy disc?
The disc had 5 word files on and 1 exel file and the exel file and 1 of the word files have suddenly stopped opening, but the others open fine. The drive makes a right racket when its trying to open them and the computer eventually locks up.
I'd really appreciate any help.
Cheers

You could try recover4All

There is a shareware download that will at least tell you if it can recover, but the unregistered version will only let you recover files 10k or less.

Up to you how important the files are, if you want to purchase it.

I did one few months ago, even after you managed to recover the documents, most likely the content would had been corrupted, so addition tools may require in order to turn it back to a readable format by the application.
