Hi Ward... Sorry for any confusion! I meant I can use Toast to copy files from my HD but I can't copy from a CD in my G3 to the LaCie. Before I could put an audio CD or anything in my G3's CD and copy it bit by bit to the external CD. I have a ton of real RAM :) Never was a problem before a week ago. I'll try upping the RAM though that Toast has access to just to make sure.
Thanks! Susan on 5/6/02 5:46 PM, Ward Oldham at woldham at telocity.com wrote: Hi everyone, I have a question I'm hoping someone can help me with. I have a beige G3 Power Mac desktop with 8.6 on it. I've had a LaCie external CD-RW that has worked flawlessly with it (using Toast 4.1) for a year. Now all of a sudden, when I try to do Disk Copy from my G3's CD drive, it balks when I'm in Toast giving me a gray dialog box that says Mac OS error-error 100. This is just when it is putting it in RAM cache. Do I need to reinstall 8.6? I've reinstalled Toast. Thanks, Susan The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will be May 28.

I don?t know if you said this, but I construed your statement as running Apple?s Disk Copy at the same time you?re running Toast. If you are, you may be running short on available RAM. The real tip-off you gave me was the error being generated while the RAM cache within Toast was being filled up. If that be the case, check your Toast preferences and lower the amount of cache you have set. It could be that this is set too high for the amount of available RAM that you have, thus aborting the operation due to insufficient RAM. I can tell you from prior experience that Toast will not give you an ?out of memory? error like you would expect. Good Luck!
