How did you copy the disk? The Guided Tour Disk is copy protected, specifically so that they System cannot be used, as it is an unstable beta version. So doing a regular disk copy should not have worked. That is a clue that someone has tampered with the disk as well.
Booting from a system floppy with Finder 1.1g, I dragged the Guided Tour Disk onto a blank floppy. Finder copied the diskette (warning that it would completely wipe the destination diskette - I assume this means it is doing a full copy) and files with a few swaps required. No errors occured.

I don't know what files to expect on the diskette.

Also, I cannot figure out how to check the system version on the Guided Tour diskette, as if boot from that diskette it goes straight to the Tour (i.e. I can't load the finder).

I checked the pictures of a fully loaded (original box and packaging and everything else) Mac 128k on eBay, and the lable on the Guided Tour diskette shown there looks exactly like the one that I am trying to run on my Fat Mac....
