[comp.sys.mac.system] Apple DiskCopy 4.1

ar4@sage.cc.purdue.edu (Piper Keairnes) (11/05/90)

I ftp'd the new System 6.0.7 files from apple.com and also Apple
DiskCopy 4.1. I remember there having been a discussion of problems
with DiskCopy some time back. But, back then DiskCopy worked for me.

Today, I tried every conceivable permutation of startup disk, INITs,
Multifinder, and System versions to run DiskCopy under. I get various
problems:

   1) system error on program startup
   2) hard disk not mounted
   3) menus disappear
   4) three beeps from DiskCopy when trying to load a disk image

I have yet to install the new system and I promised it to a buyer of
my computer. If you've experienced or know of how to work around the
problems please let me know. I am running on a MacSE with a Quantum 40
internal (SilverLining driver).

On the newest developers disk, Night of the Living Disk, there is a cdev
called MountImage which lets you directly mount up to four "image" files
(the files used by DiskCopy) on the desktop.  If you have two HDs, you
can then install 6.0.7 without using DiskCopy.
