  Yep, I recognize this one.  When it happened to me I found out that I 
 had a virus on my Atari boot disk (damn near all the rest of my atari
 disks, too!).  This virus was one of those guys that put something in the
 boot sector and then sit around infecting any disk accessed in the Atari.
 Run a virus fixer program on your Atari disks and get all of them cleaned
 up and then the IBM to Atari to IBM transfers should work OK just like
 you are doing them.
       
            Have fun,
