Problem

Solutions: Error Messages such as "Can't Find Sector Reading Drive x," "Disk Error 23, 31 or 27," and "Files Are Corrupt" can often be solved by lightly tapping the edge of the diskette on a hard surface. This has corrected the error for a few customers. Another option that has worked in some instances is to use your finger turn the disk media (5.25" disks) with the center hole until the pinhole shows through the adjacent hole in the diskette cover. Other customers have reported that using the DOS command DISKCOPY A: B: has corrected the problem.
