I'm a writer/editor for the school paper. I stored my many articles and my editorial in my floppy. Suddenly, after I tried opening my editorial, it said it caused a serious error so I cannot open it (RECOVER DATA deosn't do anything). After several tries opening it, my floppy suddenly needs to be formatted. I need to do everything I can to recover my files because my deadline is tomorrow. It's relatively impossible to type them all over again because there are more than 5 long articles in there. I din't format it yet, because it might be possible to open it from there after something happens.
Is it possible to recover something you tried AutoSummarizing with Word? I did that for a book review of Swan Lake, which I desperately need to recover.
I didn't delete my History nor did I delete my Recent Documents. Will it help me recover my files?
I need to recover them ASAP because I still have two exams tomorrow. DESPERATE EDITOR SEEKING HELP ON FILE RECOVERY AND COMPUTER EXPERT?!?!

I'm using Windows. I used Microsoft Word to open it. All the files are Word.

Thanks for the program, To Be Free, but to really RECOVER it I need the real program, it only showed hexagesimal code of my files in the .doc extension. Now I really should've done it in .txt, anyway, is it possible to turn hexagsimal code into text yourself? Sorry, I'm desperate and have to post questions in the same question. I need help.

Yowza! Never rely on a floppy for critical documents and data. If is the only you choice you have at a given moment then make sure you have a public email address and attach a copy to an email and send it to yourself on top of using the floppy. Aslo, get a flash drive that you can plug into the USB port - they are dirt cheap these days and a great device for toting data.
One thing you can try for getting documents back that you lost while on the computer is by running a search fo any documents created that day. You may come up with some temp files or backed up files. Also, there is the slim possibility that you have a problem with the floppy drive itself. Try a friend's computer and see if their floppy drive might be able to read your floppy disk. Whatever you do DON"T reformat it. I would actually toss it before I would reformat it if you can't read it. If it is a borderline or bad floppy is simply is not worth the risk.
