geekwurkz Junior Member USA 156 Posts	Posted - 01 Jul 2003 : 22:29:12 Yes, but that can only write raw images, not Disk Copy images. I have a copy of HFV Explorer that just barfed when I tried to open said image. Rawwrite did the same thing. BTW... I know the image is good. nick ------------------------- Nooooo!

The Balance Of Judgement Senior Member Ivory Coast 1006 Posts	Posted - 02 Jul 2003 : 02:13:18 Oops, I goofed. It's Gemulator Explorer that does the disk images. You have to download it from Emulators.com. Just don't ever buy anything from that page, get what you need and don't look at anything. They guy that runs that site is horrible. When I made my emulator package and had a few questions and asked if I could include his emulator or even just a link to his product he responded with foul words etc., etc, he even said I should leave the promotion of Apple 68K Motorolla 68K etc., to thier respective companies and not mess with thier stuff. Heh, buddy, you make a 68k emulator, kinda hypocritical. He does the same to paying customers. So, just head to the download section and grab what you need. Just so you know when you do, several new windows might popup during your visit, I don't know the reason for opening a new window for something on the same site, most online companies know by now how much people hate pop-ups, and considering the link doesn't go off his site there no reason to fear someone will leave the site. Go figure, some people are just natural idiots.
The Balance Of Judgement Senior Member Ivory Coast 1006 Posts	Posted - 02 Jul 2003 : 02:21:38 I looked up some info on google and found this page: http://www.sheppyware.net/products/beos/sweet16/manual/disks.html Now, while this application is for BeOS, it shows how Disk Copy 6 format is the same as Raw format. The only question being is the Raw format the one you are talking about as BeOS sees it. In other words, without a resource fork, a DiskCopy 6 image file is a raw image. The only thing extra are usually the resource fork on the mac which usually holds a disk image's checksum which ensures the disk is not corrupted. So make sure if you have those type of images, make sure thier checksum is valid in Mac OS before putting them on a PC to format it otherwise you won't have any method of checking. I'm hoping this info helps.

I'll do it. ------------------------- Nooooo! You Found My Hidden, Secret ChatRoom irc.freenode.net:6667 #elgatoconqueso
geekwurkz Junior Member USA 156 Posts	Posted - 02 Jul 2003 : 20:21:59 Well... That didn't work. Could someone decompress the file ftp://68k.torpedobird.com/Operating Systems/8.x/Disk Tools PPC.img to a raw image file and send it me via AIM? My SN is Bball24237.
