I still have some floppies from my Canon Star Jet 300 word processor with files I'd like to salvage. While I could just use the Canon to export these files to MS-DOS compatible text files, I'd like to try to do this with the PC as practice for salvaging even older files from a Panasonic WP.

The problem here is this... while the disks are formatted as FAT32, the PC can only find the exported TXT files. Judging by the disk’s properties, a disk could be half full of files... and checking it in the Canon shows there are readable files there, but the PC can't find them. Which raises the question why doesn't the PC recognize them even if it lacks the software to open them?

I’ve used recovery software like Recover My Data with the search for deleted/lost files option both checked and UNchecked, but it doesn’t find them either.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
