Hi Darren,
I'm not an expert on this, but first I would try to read it by manually
mounting it with tomsrtbt floppy.  http://www.toms.net/rb/
and failing that I am afraid you might have to resort to one of
Symantec's Norton Utilities for Windows fix it tools.
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers,
Daniel.
