Checksum is a system by which a computer can verify the contents of a file against a known record, ensuring that the contents are correct and undamaged. A bad checksum error results when the file fails this check, meaning that some part of the data no longer corresponds to the original. If your data fails a checksum verification, it usually means that you need to replace it from a backup or otherwise reconstruct the affected file.
