Display Cluster Chain Of Files On Floppy

Hi,

Does anyone know of a program which when run (on Vista) will analyze a floppy disk and show each file on it together with a list of all the clusters which that file occupies. That's all I want it to do. Alternatively, does anyone have anything in VBS/ Javascript which can do this? The Disk sector editors I've checked out only give the starting cluster.

Thank you

I should have explained that I was given a load of old floppies and asked to try and get the data off them. Unfortunately, many have damaged sectors/ clusters and the Disk Editors I've tried so far won't read them. I say "won't" because if Windows can't read the floppy, the software "hides" behind that and gives up. I know that there are progs out there which can read damaged floppies at sector level though obviously not in every instance - it depends on the damage and where it occurs.

I know the principle behind cluster chaining but need a prog to tell me what the clusters are for each file. I have a DOS prog called Flopsee but it only addresses 720kb floppies whereas the ones I have been given are all 1.4MB - just my luck that there never was a 1.4mb version of Flopsee!

Thank you
