- Comments on the following problem would be appreciated.
- Configuration (4 yrs old): Mac II, ~100MB Rodime hard drive,
- 6.0.5->6.0.8, various Aldus apps, RGB monitor, Laserwriter II
-
- A couple of Mac II's of about the same age seemed to be locking up
- more and more frequently. I decided to try upgrading from 6.0.5 to
- 6.0.8 on one system and the machine would would emit a ascending
- series of notes rather than the startup chord and the screen remained
- blank. So, I decided to start from scratch and re-formatted the Rodime
- using its installation disk and then tried installing 6.0.8. Hit the
- -36 error, so ran Norton Utils 1.x Speedisk to look for bad blocks.
- It identified about 30 bad blocks. Then I successfully installed 6.0.8.
- Then I started installing Aldus Freehand and Pagemaker and ran into
- Error -36 at the end of the installation when the application is assembling
- itself after reading all the diskettes.
-
- Any guidance on what Error -36 is and what can be done about it?
