Re: .DSK Image does not work on real machine, but, works fine in an Emulator

The solution was to make sure that the target
disk was fully INITialized. After I ran INIT
on the disk, then copied the image, it worked
fine. Before I ran INIT the disk would neither
boot, nor run correctly after booting from
another disk. I guess that if the boot sectors
are not used, then ADT copies data to them,
even though the file system can not access these
sectors. This is ONLY a guess.
