I got this problem a lot when trying ot install my system. All
it means is that a sector went bad or something. I was trying to install
it using a bunch of extra floppies that sucked... i saw that error more
times than i want to know about. When you're copying from the DOS side,
use copy /v or xcopy /v. (/v turns on the verify flag, which verifys
the data it writes.) This won't eliminate the problem, but it will lessen
it :)
