Re: imagemaker - zip drive - SCSI


Bill, in sum:
success: writing 3.5 image directly to zip drive that is formatted single partion HFS
success: writing 35 MB image of partioned Focus drive to another partition on the focus card 

FAIL: copying that image on to the HFS zip disk

FAIL writing a 35 MB image directly to the zipdisk
in sum, so far I can make one put can't get it onto the zip, though 3.5 images are cake.

I need a little help w/ this problem w/ a IIGS that
has a modified SCSI to play nice w/ zip drive.

(1) I try to get get a disk image of the boot drive
using Imagemaker. Not possible (?) It kinda hangs...


Where are you trying to write the image to?
What size is the partition you are trying to image?


(2) So I boot from another partition.
But trying to write the image straight to the
zipdisk I get an I/O error $0027 Odd, because
writing 3.5 images to the zip is no problem!


Repeating questions from above.....


(3) So OK I'll write the image to another partition.
Imagemaker does it - nice!! But now I can't move the
image to the Zip. Finder tried, but then goes in to
the read/write loop & no progress is made.

Any Ideas? I'd like to to this so I can try out Sweet16 :-)
I'm not sure what the hangup is.


All I can think of is that you're trying to write a 32MB image
to a 32MB partition, but, you say in #3 that it does it. Weird.
Unless in #3 you wrote the image to an HFS partition, and if it
is 32MB it won't fit on a 32MB partition on the Zip drive. Does
the Zip drive have an HFS partition?
