I met a guy today that is a native German speaker and speaks English very
well and is also familiar with computer terms. I asked him what
"verkantet" means as a floppy error. He said "not recognized". The root
word is the verb "kennen" which means to "know" or "recognize", with the
prefix "ver" which means "not". That seems to be the most reasonable
explanation I have seen so far.
