Try to read it on the DOS machine. Sometimes the mechanics of the floppy
drive are slightly off on one machine and this causes the floppy to be
unreadable on another.

Hi all...
I really messed up today! I took a file off of my wife's DOS machine and deleted it at the same time. When I tried to put it on her new LINUX machine it gave me an I/O error.
The diskette is 1.44mb and is dos16 file system. I can mount it and it will tell me what file is on the diskette. But when I try to read it or move it I get the I/O error.
Is there anyway I can save at least some of this file?
THANKS!
