Is it possible your floppy is bad? I think the best way to tell is with fdformat and tell it to check for bad blocks (but from what I've read on this list before there was some problem with it, I don't remember...?) or you can just try a different floppy. Besides, fdformat writes to the disk so much it will probably create bad blocks while it's at it :-)
