Check your caps in the floppy drives for goo, that could seriously affect the head amplifier's ability to read/write the disk.

But if the actuator alignment is out, repair all mechanical grimlins first, then you can blindly adjust the stepper motor by loosening the locking screw and physically turning the motor. You can use this to get it back on track with a known good properly formatted floppy diskette.
