most likely the hash chains on your floppy directory are either
broken, or if an ffs floppy, become unsorted.

DiskSalv can recover the files onto another floppy in this case.

The in-place disk fixers (diskdoctor, fixdisk) probably won't
handle it.

The disk optimizers will completely destroy the floppy.
(requiring diskdoctor or fixdisk to get it back to even
the unsorted state)
