The PC and the CoCo use incompatible disk formats.  If you were using DSKINI 
from the JV emulator to format your disks I would suspect that the one or 
more of the drives are out of alignment.

Some modern machines can not run DOS, or even Windows 98!

Firewire seems to be a good option, not that I have tried it yet, however 
others speak well of it.
