Check if any of the switches inside the floppy drive are stuck or broken off (those left and right at the front). The PC may not notice a disk change...

PS/2 floppy drives are notorious for going bad. If you're certain both disks are good, searching "PS/2 floppy drive repair" should bring back a ton...
