Stupid floppy disk. Grrr.

I have a floppy disk with a bunch of important work on. It's been working fine, but today it is saying the disk isn't formatted and it won't display anything on it, even though I know there is stuff on it!
FFS I feel like crying because a couple of the doc's aren't saved onto a hard drive, so basically I have to redo the whole lot.
How could the disk just suddenly fuck up?

Did you maybe have it somewhere with magnetic fields? Close to a mobile phone, for example.
sometimes its the drive though - some drives wont seem to recognise disks, others will. Try it in a few computers, might get lucky.
At the first sign of trouble replace the disk.
