If the same thing happens with both drives, and with all disks, then it's unlikely to be the drives or the disks.

The floppy drives are controlled by Paula. So if that is faulty, then none of your drives will work. I think you can buy replacement Paula chips, but I have no idea whether the chip is socketed.

If there's nothing in DF0 and no hard drive, then you can boot from DF1 by just inserting a disk.

That's not true. X-rays have no effect whatsoever on magnetic media.
