You have tried cleaning the floppy drive heads with a cleaning disk ?
Everything points to the fact that its just not able to read the diskette
properly. That could be dirty heads or the floppy drive has died. Try
another floppy drive if you can do that easily.

Could be the floppy controller on the motherboard too, or even
the cable. Try another cable and try the floppy drive in another PC.
