TOPIC

    Question 1: I have a two identical computers, and I am trying to copy the hard disk from one computer to another using the Apple Network Assistant, part of the Apple Network Administrator Toolkit (ANAT). I'm choosing All other items in the Copy Hard Disk dialog box. The target computer has a 400 MB hard disk; the information I am trying to copy is 390 MB. When I try to copy, I get a message that there is not enough space on the target drive to copy. What is wrong?

    Question 2: When using Network Assistant's "Copy Hard Disk" feature, it will hang at the "Connecting" phase when copying the System Folder if: Network Assistant was launched from a mounted server volume or a floppy disk.

DISCUSSION

    Answer 1: Make sure your target computer does not have virtual memory turned on. Virtual memory allocates space, for its use, on the hard disk in the amount set in the Memory control panel. Turn off virtual memory and restart, this should let you copy to the target computer.

    Answer 2: Launch Network Assistant from the workstation hard drive instead of mounted volume or floppy disk.
