What happens to make floppies not work?
Sometimes floppies just go bad. They get corrupted (the files) or the head wont read, or the metal diskette shield can become loose or bent. Sometimes theyre bad fresh out of the box! And oddly enough sometimes a floppy diskette will work in ONE computer say, the one you saved the file from and wont read in another computer. (Has to do with lots of technical stuff that you dont really want to know about.
