he may be able to save the data if he trys opening the disk on the computer which he originally used to save the files to it.

otherwise im afraid that you have no chance of getting the data back as the disk and the data on it is screwed.

my advise to you is to stop using floppy disks all togther, usb flash drives are way better in every way and a 128MB flash drive will cost you about the same as a pack of ten floppy disks but it will hold the same as 90 floppy disks
