I found out the problem.  I made these floppies on Dell desktops at the 
community college where I take classes.  These machines are old and get heavy 
use.  The disk2 floppies are bad (I made two sets of floppies) while the 
disk1 floppies made with fdimage are ok.  All the floppy disks were brand new 
and passed a chkdsk test before I used them.  I wrote a disk2 floppy on my 
laptop with the plug-in USB floppy drive and it worked!  I decided the 
problem was the copy over to the floppy was because the disk1 img was ok and 
also there have been problems with these Dell machine floppy drives ever 
since I started taking classes 2 1/2 years ago.  They plan to replace all 
these old clunker desktop PCs in the near future...
