DiskCopy 4.1, the one that creates disk images from Apple.
It seems to do weird things at a very low level.  Has anyone ever used it
successfully with a SilverLining formated hard disk? My version is 5.22.
It's the only reason I could think of...

Observe the following:
(1)	Run DiskCopy on my new HD, brings up dialog box telling me Finder is
busy or damaged. No ICON. This under Finer.
(2)	Under MF, there is ICON in the dialog box, application unexpectedly
quit. Then slow motion city on the Mac. Click on a menu item, twiddle your
thumbs, and then it drops down and stays there.
(3)	Launch from floppy, run DiskCopy from HD, same problem. Same if running
a copy on floppy.
(4)	Copy exact Finder and System, DiskCopy to floppy, boot from it, still
problems, but when I unmount the HD, DiskCopy launches OK!
(5)	Bring Finder, Sytem and DiskCopy to top level of HD, still no good.


Could someone please help me out???
