Not really, your best bet is to probably to try it back in the computer you wrote them to disk on. Floppy disks are an unreliable and outdated medium, get a pendrive.

Try some of the google links here: http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&q =floppy+disc+recovery tomd - the day when you can boot from usb is the day floppies will die...

You can, you can get a version of Knoppix that boots & runs from a pendrive(!). Or why not just boot from CD?

Version of Knoppix called FeatherLinux - link here
