Not quite a total lyx question, but i hope i am forgiven. There i was, typing away in Lyx on my laptop when the battery died. The file i was working on was on floppy disk and is/was important. The disk was an ms-dos disk. Now when i try and read the file, i get Input Output error, and the file is empty! Does anyone know if there is ANY way of getting back some or part of the file and overcoming the i/o error (which i assume was caused when the battery died - perhaps it was being written to or read from at the time)? Cheers Tony ps. i tried loading from the 'emergency document', when prompted by lyx, but that didn't help at all.
