This is why you should keep backups...  :-(
I hope you can get in touch with someone that can make you a copy.

Disk repairing software will often make things worse.. One last resort method that worked for me sometimes is to blow on the magnetic disc inside of the floppy, while manually turning the disk wheel around. This has saved me a couple of times when the problem was related to dust or something stuck inside.

I disconected the keyboard and it boots up just fine. Now I guess I have to find a new keyboard, or perhaps I need a new spiral corde?

hmm... Have you spilled something on it as of lately?? Could be something simple as a shortcut in one of the keys, which makes it act like one of the keys were stuck.

In any case, open it up and clean it.
