How do I restore an unreadable floppy disk created in excel
You cannot create a floppy disk in Excel.
You can save to a floppy disk from Excel but this can result in a corrupt floppy disk which you seem to have generated. Restoration would be impossible in my estimation if corrupt. Try copying to HD then open in Excel. Might get lucky. For future...................do not save to or open directly from a floppy. Save to HD first then copy to floppy. Coming the other way, copy to HD then open in Excel. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Fri, 9 Feb 2007 14:17:00 -0800, JOJO wrote: |

In the days of XL 5, you could often recover a corrupt xl file by opening it in open office and saving it as an xl file again. Might be worth a try if it is really important and you have no backup ? ... you do backup ... right ? :) |
