I'm sure it's too late by now, but your best bet is to copy them off of the floppy from the computer that you wrote to the floppy.
Those drives are old and some times finicky. In my experience, you either have a bad disc (bad news) or a finicky drive. If you can copy them from the same computer that you wrote them too, then it's a funky drive. Otherwise, it's a bad disc or an old disc. I've done the same thing myself a number of times. I'd use an old disc to copy something to and then it can't be read/retreived again... I did some searching on GOOGLE.COM and couldn't find much to help you other than the info already given.
