if you have 2x floppy drives.. I would suggest DiskSalv by dave haynie, it can usually fix/restore a simple read error from your original disk, to a spare disk in the other drive.

Yes, if you have something to put the temporary fix result into - HD, enough RAM or RAD etc to wait to be written back onto the disk.
