It's unlikely that you're dealing with some weird backwards compatibility issue, altough a booter game which isn't using an actual file system might be possible. Try rawrite2 and/or Floppy Disk Analyzer.

I suggest you put that one aside for the moment and continue going with the other ones you've got to copy and see if the problem occurs on another.
Thanks for the info on rawwrite2, I tried the first rawwrite but it said it was incompatible with 5.25" disks I will try version 2 along with analyser, I have tried some other disks I have but get similar errors, maybe all my disks are corrupted :>(
