[comp.sys.ibm.pc] need to read Japanese MS-DOS diskette

I'm trying to read some files from a 5.25" diskette which was purchased
in Japan.  The directory appears correct, but when I try to read a file,
it gives the message: "Sector not found error reading drive A".

I would suppose this means the diskette is sectored in some nonstandard
way, but not knowing much about PC's, I am wondering if there is still
a way this diskette can be read.  Any advice would be appreciated, but
please email me as I don't read this group.
