BDOS err on d:
ST AT has detected a space allocation conflict in which
one data block is assigned to more than one file. One or
more filenames might be listed. Each of the files listed
contains a data block already allocated to another file on
the disk. You can correct the problem by erasing the files
listed. After erasing
the conflicting file orfiles, press tC to
regenerate the allocation vector. If you do not, the error
might repeat itself.
CP IM-86 replaces d: with the drive specifier of the drive
where the
error occurred. This message appears when
CP/M-86 finds no disk in the drive, when the disk is
improperly formatted, when the drive latch is open, or
when power to the drive is off. Check for one of these
situations
and retry.
