I have serious problems resulting in a damaged directory on my
Appleworks datadisk. After I have loaded and modified an AW file and
I try to save that file on disk, I get the message:
"Can't write on disk at Ext. disk //c".
AW puts a file on that disk named: "AppleWorks.TEMP"
Deleting this file blows up the system and I've to reboot.
When I want to list all the files on that disk I get the message:
"Getting errors trying to read directory at Ext. disk //c".
I've tried several disks with many times the same result.
The only solution I know is: format that disk again and copy all
files from the backup disk.
I get bored to do this so often! Is there anybody who has the same
problems or someone who could give me the right solution?
I use Appleworks 1.3 installed with Pinpoint.
My external disk is not from Apple but from Taiwan.
