Why are my .hdv images opening read-only?
Some “.hdv” files are undersized, and grow as you add files to them. CiderPress thinks these are damaged, because the size that the volume claims to be is much larger than the actual number of blocks in the file. You can tell what the difference is by opening the volume and selecting File->Archive Info (or hit Ctrl-I). To be able to write to these disks with CiderPress, you need to expand them to their full size. One approach is to force your emulator to expand them. To do this, launch a ProDOS block editor within the emulator, and open the last block on the disk (e.g. 65534 on a 32MB image). Read the block and write it back. Another approach is to create a new volume and copy all of the files over. To do this: • Create a new disk image with File->New Disk Image. Select ProDOS and 32MB. • Open the old disk image. Select all files with Edit->Select All (or hit Ctrl-A). • Open the new disk image. Select Edit->Paste Special, and choose “Keep full pathnames”. (If you don’t have “strip path
