- An I:27 error is a checksum error on the sector. Apparently this sector
- is in an active file and has gone bad. I suggest you use a non-GEOS
- program to disk copy to another disk. Do not use a nibbler, as this
- will keep the error intact. Use a program which can read sector errors
- and correct them on the destination disk. Fast Hack'Em or Maverick
- Quick Copiers will do this, I believe.
