Robert, First, please check if your floppy disk continues to be readable by your Color Classic and other PC's.
If you already have the PC Exchange (or File Exchange, as it is known in latter versions of the Mac OS), open the control panel and tinker with the settings first. Then see if the problem persists. If it does, then get a floppy disk cleaner and clean your disk drive using the freeware utility TechTool (now TechTool Lite). Restart and then try again. If you want to find out if the problem is with your floppy disk drive, then see how it reads other floppy disks. Hope this helps.
