I don't know all the technical details, but basically the OS is reporting an error in reading the floppy. After the data is read an algorithm is used to insure all the 1's and 0's add up to a number stored with the file. In your case it didn't.
You might be able to read the disk on the machine that created it. Or the floppy has failed mechanically or magnetically.

Good luck.
