No.  What this means is that sectors are marked as allocated on your hard
drive, but are not mapped into the list of files on the disk.  These could
be sectors that are BAD and where marked off by format or they could be
things like a boot kernel on the CoCo that is "there" (ie, the "DOS" code on
Track 34) but aren't part of an OS-9 file.  The only possible problem is if
sectors got marked as used when they really where not - you'd simply have
that much space left unavailable on your drive.

(I know alot about hard drive problems :-)
