    What error do you get and what is it that's giving you the error (Windows? DOS install?)?

    the error is somthing like "genral reading falure reading drive A:" and its from dos install

    you can use norton utilities to try and repair the diskette file system

    NU available at vetusware I believe

    does it destroy files on the disk when it fixes them

    Destroying files is not what I'd call "fixing them".

    I'm not familiar with Norton for DOS, but I'd think it'd say something like "Proceeding will cause irreversible change, [Y/N]?"

    It lets you save a copy of the changed data such that it can put the diskette back in the state it found it in
