Kate,

That is truly bizarre. I have had trouble on occasion if I remove the
floppy from the host too quickly after creating it. Windows may not
have flushed everything to the floppy even though xpcexplr thinks it is
done. I've seen the floppy activity light come back a few seconds after the
progress bar goes away. If you've popped the floppy out before that, it
will appear corrupt if you try to boot the target. I had forgotten that
for a while.

I'm glad it's working now for you.
