A strange disk transfer problem

Hi there,
I've got a very strange problem.  I can use ADT to transfer disks both ways
just fine.  But sometimes on certain target disks, when I receive a disk
image to be put on a real disk, everything appears to go OK, the catalog is
right (this is DOS 3.3) but the disk won't boot.  I have no idea what it
says on the screen because I'm blind.  Also, some Applesoft programs have
syntax errors in weird places where there are no real errors.  On some disks
it works fine though.  Also I can use the nonworking disks for other
purposes just fine.  Reinitializing the disks doesn't help.  Bulk erasing
then initializing the disks doesn't help.  It's like sometimes disks just go
bad for certain things, which doesn't sound right at all.  Any advice?
Jayson.
