Floppy drives can go out of alignment. Try replacing the drive itself, they're cheap. Or verify the floppy on another computer.

It may also become dusty, so that dust prevents from FDD to read diskettes properly.
Before you purchase another FDD try one of these cleaning diskettes. Sometimes works for me ;)

You would be surprised how many floppies go bad just sitting around. I buy mine in bulk, because 10% of them are bad right out of the box.
