According to the Warp User's Guide (I don't happen to have a 2.1 one
handy, and I don't think they change system error messages between
versions):
SYS2025
Explanation: A disk read error occurred. This might be a disk error
or a damaged system boot record.
Actions: Try the following:
. If this error occurred while the system was loading, follow the
procedure in "Recovering from Errors on the Hard Disk" on page 222.
. If this error occurred when the system was reading the installation
diskettes... stuff about XDF...
. If your computer has BIOS supplied by AMI or Phoenix, you might need
to upgrade the BIOS.
. If your system has a local bus IDE controller card, disable the BIOS
on the 32-bit local bus IDE controller card and use the generic INT13
driver instead of IBM1S506.ADD. [Not sure if this applies to 2.1...]
. Make sure that there is not a hardware problem with your hard disk
controller or your diskette drive.
SYS2027
Explanation: This message usually accompanies messages SYS1475 and
SYS2025 and means that the system must be restarted. ...
Action: Insert a system diskette and restart the system.
