According to my Kaypro User's Manual, this error is a "read error". No more
information than this is given, but I would assume there is a bad spot on
your hard drive on the boot tracks or directory tracks.

If you have a boot floppy, try starting the machine with it, and then see if
you can successfully pull up a directory of the hard drive.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance; I have a fairly complete
library of the original software and documentation which came with the
machine when new, as well as a mostly working Kaypro 10.

BTW, does anyone have a spare hard drive controller card from a Kaypro 10?;
mine seems somewhat flaky when booting up.
