My Kaypro 10 had similar problems, and CHECK showed tons of errors on
the A: drive.  Most of the errors were in the directory area, and eventually 
it wouldn't even boot from the HD.  I was sure I was in for a new drive, 
so after making sure I had a good back up (or 2), I ran FORMAT.COM, to 
reformat the entire drive.  I then ran PUTSYS and PUTOVL, and restored the 
backed up data.  Everything was fine.  Curiously this happened another time,
and I had to go through the same procedure.  No further problems, and the 
Kaypro has had about 4 years of fairly heavy use since then.  (I have my
fingers crossed, though.)  I don't know if this would help your problem,
but anything's worth a try.
