DiskCopy 4.1, the one that creates disk images from Apple. It seems to do weird things at a very low level. Has anyone ever used it successfully with a SilverLining formated hard disk? My version is 5.22. It's the only reason I could think of... Observe the following: (1) Run DiskCopy on my new HD, brings up dialog box telling me Finder is busy or damaged. No ICON. This under Finer. (2) Under MF, there is ICON in the dialog box, application unexpectedly quit. Then slow motion city on the Mac. Click on a menu item, twiddle your thumbs, and then it drops down and stays there. (3) Launch from floppy, run DiskCopy from HD, same problem. Same if running a copy on floppy. (4) Copy exact Finder and System, DiskCopy to floppy, boot from it, still problems, but when I unmount the HD, DiskCopy launches OK! (5) Bring Finder, Sytem and DiskCopy to top level of HD, still no good. Could someone please help me out??? Norton Chia Please mail if you like: carsup@extro.ucc.su.oz.au <- add local mailcentre.

I have heard of your SilverLing and CidkKopy problem. But I also know people who run both withouth problems. Someone told me that SilverLing writes something to the lowlevel sony driver and Disk Copy doesn't like it. Sorry I don't have any difinitive info for you. Aslo sorry I don't know how to correct typos in this editor.
