Yes and no.....
I've recovered loads of disks with one or more physicaly damaged sectors
by using a one-to-one diskcopy program (like VGACopy or DiskDupe). However,
this doesn't write a new TOC (FAT12).
In order to check the FAT12 filesystem used on a 3.5" floppy, you should
run 'checkdisk' or scandisk. Normaly these programs will find chunks of
data that aren't related to a filename and you'll be able to save these
chunks into a new filename.
I suggest you do a one-to-one diskcopy before.
