1. Do you test 2035a?
2. Do you test FD with same conditions, as other OSes (for example, if you
boot from diskette for FD, do you boot from diskette for MS-DOS7)?

This looks like hardware (floppy drive) problem (something like trouble
with head moving).
3. Do you try on this machine other drive?
4. Do you try this drive on other machine?

Do you mean, that drive, probably, not senses diskette change? No, I
don't think so - with broken "change line" there are other simptoms.
