Try re-installing the software onto the disk (if you can find it on the internet - What version is [supposed] to be on the disk?)...this is what I had to do with my 6.0.8 800k disks to get them to work properly.
Good luck...

I have a Macintosh ("128K") and I have been having some serious problems
making boot disks for it.
I have used Macs for quite a few years and have worked extensively with
System 7 and know my way around Disk Copy and etc but these 400K boot
disks just aren't working. I use a Mac SE with Disk Copy 4.2 to write a
"Disk Tools" image file (or something similar) to a floppy and then try to
boot the Macintosh with it and it spits it back out and returns to the "?"
Disk icon.
When I first got the machine it came with boot disks and one of them will
boot the system and it runs but I need to be able to make other disks. I
look at the disk that the 128 rejected and it does in fact contain a
"blessed" system folder and it is a 400K disk. I am confused as to
exactly why its not working.
I have an Apple 20HD (floppy port, not SCSI) on the way and I want to be
able to put software on that drive and use it but I worry about the same
general problems.
It turns out that this Mac did have a RAM upgrade and from looking at the
logic board (and in the Finder) it is reporting 512K RAM. Can I get
System 6 to run on it? If I go with an older OS how do I get the disks
made?
Thanks!
