Great we have some experts here :-) I have a friend who has just formatted his IBM format Windows floppy with important info on it. There are $ packages he could use but he is a uni student. Under Linux I could mount the fd ro but is there another FAT table on Windows floppies can I tell the mount command to use? I am hoping that Linux utils might be able to get his files back, not with all their correct names, but at least salvage them as AFAIK the format command does not actually write all over the disk?
