Looks like the FAT is corrupt. If the data is important to you, try
gddrescue, then attempt to loop mount the image. If that fails, I think
you will have lost your data,& will just have to try re formatting the
disk.
It sounds like the drive is defective.
In future, please use more descriptive subject lines. "Any ideas" tells
us nothing about the fact that you are having a floppy disk problem.
