Anyone out there uses DISKCOPY from APPLE? I have got some problems. I was trying to backup my 1.4MB HD disk. The other program, SUM II quick copy, which I got, will only copy 800K disk. So I tried DISKCOPY. As I launch the application, my Classics turn very bright. So, I go to the control panel to turn the brightness down. The brightness icon no longer appears on the panel. Since I got SAM running, it started to scan my disk for virus. It actually scan twice and eject my disk. I put the disk back in and on the desktop, it give me two images for my disk. I could eject the disk by dragging either one of them to the trash. When I started DISKCOPY, I did see the warning:" It may modify the built-in-floopy disk driver software to add requied functions. You may have to restart your MAC afterwards" So, my question is: (1) Do I really have to restart my MAC? (2) Is this real or am I having an INIT conflict? (3) What is the fastest and best way to backup 1.4MB disk? Thanks! Ida
