- This is true if you try to copy normally, but you can use Maverick to get
- working copies if the boot disk. But I agree, you CAN do damage just by
- experimenting, if you're not careful. You have to close the disk or disks
- before you shut down, or files can be damaged. It happened to me once.
- Also, the GEOS manual says "NOTE: Never boot GEOS with more than one disk
- drive on." OOPS! I've been doing that all along. Does anybody know why
- they say that? It's never caused me a problem...so far.
