I concur with everything that Jonathan AKA System Glitch states. I have
no small experience with floppy drives and diskettes.
Keeping floppy drive heads clean is the first priority when disks fail.
Trying different drives confirms if it's the disk, or the drive that is
failing - but a close visual inspection of the diskette will show most
physical damage. A Web search of my domain, will provide more
information on this subject, but start with:
