I was able to use both disk copy 4.2 and 6.3. I am using a mac G3 along with an external floppy drive, so disk copy 6.3 would not allow me to write an image to an external drive.

I forgot to mention something which may be important. I am trying to create an installer disk for installing OS 7.1 on a mystic color classic.

Basically what I have done so far is copy the installer and system files from the OS 7.1 installer floppy (for a normal color classic) minus the enable (which I believe is enabler 401) and put them in a folder on my desktop. Then I added enabler 065 into that same folder. To put it in another way, I am using all the files you would use for a installer disk for a regular color classic except for a different enabler.

Then, I created an image of that using disk copy 6.3 and then loaded it into disk copy 4.2 and copied it onto a floppy disk. I tried it on my mac but it just ejected the disk.

Could someone tell me what could be wrong? This is my firs time making an installer disk.

Thanks
