Try copying the boot image to a freshly formated floppy. If you are using Windows to format the floppy make sure NOT to do a quick format. The quick format, if I am not misken, just wipes the FAT. What you want is a format that will mark the bad sectors. If the format comes back with any sectors marked bad, try another floppy.
