Let me be more helpful Josh.

This happens while it's reading from the floppy?

1.  make sure you're using a decent floppy.  I had a box of 50 compusa 
floppies a while back, and none of them were good.

2.  do a low level format of the floppy on a UNIX box.  This will 
reveal the errors that won't show up during a Win32 format.
