If the disks themselves are known to be good (is this the case?) this could be a case of the floppy drive heads being misaligned. Back when 3.5" drives were commonplace, a disk that failed in one drive would often work happily in another. If you have the availability of another drive - try it in that... otherwise, the old favourite Norton Disk Doctor used to work very well for this sort of thing (if you can still get hold of it).

Recuva - File RecoveryRecuva (pronounced "recover") is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses!
