Without access to your computer, or you telling us what kind of drive your G:
drive is, it is impossible to reply precisely. However, I will assume your
G: drive is a CD or DVD drive.
Following the rules laid down at the old AT&T by Kernighan & Ritchie, error
messages are constrained to be 1) short, 2) cryptic. This is to conserve
main memory space, which is very limited on early Digital Equipment
Corporation minicomputers. These rules have carried over to Microsoft
Corporation without subsequent review, despite advances in computer hardware
capacity.
I have noted recently that copying certain corrupt files from optical media
produces messages on Windows Vista of the form "Incorrect function." and
"Incorrect MS-DOS function." A Knowledge Base article conjectures that all
such instances of the message signal abuse to the medium such as PBJ stains,
pizza grease, and scratches. I have produced pristine media (no dirt, no
scratches) that nevertheless are partially unreadable and produce the
"Incorrect function." message. The affected files are located physically
toward the outer radius of the disk. I would not dignify the message as
diagnostic because 1) I did not issue the function -- the shell did (directly
or indirectly), 2) the problem is that the medium cannot be read without
error.
