Well, it's been a few months since I posted to the group asking how to restore "dead" floppies, and one tip* that was given was to use isopropyl alcohol.
Sorry to reply so late, but does this involve swabbing the disk with alcohol
or somehow soaking its dust catcher? I happen to have the opposite problem:
almost all of my disks are now unwritable!
More likely that's the drive. Perhaps the drive heads need cleaning and/or re-alignment. If it's an external drive then simply it might not be getting enough power (especially USB-powered drives - a different USB port and/or double USB cable might help).
