I had very similar problem with ISC 2.2.  I could not load the
first floppy from the core set.  I cleaned my drives (2) and tried many 
times without luck. Even dos diskcopy was failing.  Finally I took 
this bad floppy to the nearby store and managed to diskcopy it onto
a brand new Dysan floppy using their drives. Since then I use this
copy of the "1 of 6" from the core set along with the rest of ISC
floppies and all is OK.
It seems that somebody introduced some new head alignment in the new brands
of floppy drives.
