Grr. . .
I just tried to copy a file into a disk image and Mcopy grunged both
the file and (apparently) the disk header table. It was probably a
stupid mistake, since DOSemu 0.99 was running at the time.
Anyway, now Mtools won't access the disk image as it says the Media
Descriptor is bad. And, from what Mcopy and Mdir say, it *is*
bad. It's saying it is 00/f8.
However, Minfo says the media descriptor 0xf8; and DOSemu still
accesses the image just fine and everything on it runs just fine.
Anybody ever seen this and know how to repair it?
I also just discovered that in the process of grunging the file, Mcopy
also created a bad fat entry. I now have two copies of the file in the
disk image -- the good one (which I got there by copying to a dos
floppy disk, and then copied to the "hard disk" from inside DOSemu),
and the grunged one, which apparently programs can't see. Neither the
ZIP archives made since, nor the software, seem to detect this grunged
file. 4dos shows, it though, when you run a DIR command.
Cheers!
