Re: help with system 6.01

okay well i got so far as to now make the floppys.  using the make a floppy
option works just fine but now when i insert disk 1 of 7 into my gs and
power it up, it starts to boot then just says "unable to load prodos"

i tried to make a couple of the floppys, they seem to work just fine as far
as being able to copy the whole disk and everything, its just that when i
put the first disk into my gs, it just says the unable to load prodos error.

what am i doing wrong now?  (i can read and copy the files on the disk 1
with my gs using copy 2 on the disk that was created with my mac so i dont'
think its a matter of the floppy being created on one machine but read in a
different one)

thanks
