Does this happen with just one floppy disk or all floppy disks? Try checking
the floppy disk by testing that you can access the floppy in another PC. If
that works without problems suspect problems with your floppy drive, its
controller or the cable between the floppy and the motherboard. Fortunately
floppy drives are cheap to replace, provided that you aren't talking laptop.
