There are a couple for RISC OS, if you have access to a machine. There's 
FSCK and DiscKnight. The free version of FSCK will fix floppies and small
hard discs and the free version of DiscKnight will analyse a disc and tell
if what can be recovered. Both will do full recoveries if you register them.

If it's a floppy and you're really stuck, ZIP up a disc image and send it
to me. I can run DiscKnight over it and let you know what it finds.

Mike.
