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
