I recently got my hands on original copies of Fighting for Rome and its sequel Cohort II. Unfortunately, the floppies are corrupt.

I've tried using BadCopy or another floppy recovery tool, but so far I'm having no luck.

Could anyone suggest how I might go about getting to the point where I can create floppy images to play my games?

I have had good results from Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier.

I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes.

EDIT: Unfortunately, no results. Guess they're well and truly gone. I don't suppose there's someone out there who'd be willing to PM me floppy images of the two games? I'd be willing to provide photographs of my copies to prove I own them upon request.
