    i've got a bunch of files on a 3 1/2 floppy disk, but it is fucked. it will list the files on the disk but it won't let me open them, says there are errors and crap.
    know of a way to salvage them?

    try to copy them to a new floppy, OR to a folder on your hard drive.
    If that doesn't work, then the disk is too far gone.
    Those surfaces are delicate media.
