Odd release by Main Street Publishing. Despite what the packaging says, the game is not the newer Magneto Bugs but what appears to be a cracked executable (!) of the original Tumble Bugs on an unprotected disk as an AUTORUN.SYS file.
You may want to read the Gentry Software entry for the game and agree with the following crazy theory: Main Street Publishing chose Tumble Bugs because the company was never handed a working copy of Magneto Bugs.

Seems that it was just a bad mastered disk. There are original disks working correctly. The correct working disks has the track 20 unformatted. The non working one has track 34 unformatted instead.

Name of the game tells it like it is, or was : Magneto Bugs, bugs in magnetic media ... nevermind.
