Now that's certainly a first.  NOT use Disk First Aid?  Why on earth not?
I have NEVER, EVER heard of Disk First Aid further damaging a disk.  It
can't do the job 80% of the time, but when it can, I've always found it
works.

As for MacZap, I highly recommend it as a very good recovery program for
both floppies and hard disks.
