[aus.mac] HELP!!-Files disappeared after copying in finder!

	I ask this question for a friend who don't have
	net access:
	My friend 's boss just purchased a second-hand
	Mac Plus and a hyperdrive hard drive. So after
	setting up everything, he started to 'drag' a
	folder of data files from his data floppy to
	the hard drive icon on the desktop. Everything
	seems OK at first: i.e. the usual "copying file
	xxxx" dialog comes up and the file is on the hard
	drive after the dialog goes away. YET!! when
	his boss 'double ticks' the folder icon on his
	ORIGNAL FLOPPY, NOTHING came up in the folder
	window!! Same thing happen when he 'drag' his
	copy of 'MacDraft' application from his floppy
	to his hard drive!!
	He also told me that the floppy window did
	show that there is something using up the disk
	space since the amount of free disk space
	shown is the same as that before copying!
	Now I am confuse. Can anyone suggest any reason
	why the files disappear after copying??

	Thanks for any help!
