Floppy drive is misaligned, or the drive the floppy was written on is misaligned.

If your drive is at fault, not much to do besides buy a new one.

If you just built it make sure the cable is not reversed,alot of floppy drives you can accidently hook the cable up backwards.

edit: nevermind I see you had it working this morning

Just because you posted this in the wrong forum for a question about floppies, I refuse to help.

You forgot to burn-in the floppy drive. Pour gasoline on it, and light it up. Burn until it's covered evenly in black smoke.

Ok, seriously, take the floppy drive out and flip the floppy cable connector around, you got it plugged in upside down.
