As i stated earlier, what filessystem is it supposed to be. Fat? Sometimes the FAT table dies. Minix? No idea on how they set the FAT up, Gooogle for that i suppose...
Try a dd if=/dev/<what device it is> of=~/image_of_disc.img bs=512 Let it run for ages :) (Sometimes it fails if the disk has damaged clusters) But its a start. Then try to look at the image with a regular text or Hexeditor. Is it anything in there at all?
The "file" command can identify file systems resident on special files if you give it the "-s" or "--special" option. Here's what it did for the first floppy I grabbed: % file -s /dev/fd0 /dev/fd0: x86 boot sector, code offset 0x4c, OEM-ID "*WFJ*IHC", root entries 224, sectors 2880 (volumes <=32 MB) , sectors/FAT 9, dos < 4.0 BootSector (0x0)
