Data lost from zip disks

Hi,

we've got a big problem.  We have, in our laboratory, a
FACscan, running CellQuest software and we keep all our data in
zip disks.  Recently, our zip drive got damaged and destroyed the
data from the disks.  We sent the disks for data recovery.  The
company (Ontrack) managed to rescue the files out of the disks
and we can see the items and the names of the files.  However,
when we try to open them in CellQuest, WinMDI or Flow Explorer,
we are told that the files are not in FCS format.  Would someone
know how I could still try to access that data?

Thanks,
