I can access a floppy disk from one environment but not the other.
Only a locked floppy disk can be accessed in both environments
simultaneously. Eject, lock, and reinsert the disk, or eject the disk, switch to
the environment you want to use it in, and reinsert the disk. The disk must be
formatted for the PC if you want to use it in the PC environment.
Shared folders don’t get updated in Windows 95.
Sometimes you need to refresh shared folders manually in Windows 95. Click
My Computer, click View; then click Refresh once or twice.
In some Microsoft application programs, a shared drive icon looks like a floppy disk or
CD icon.
The shared drive is still usable.
Problems with information transfer
Copying and pasting between environments isn’t working.
Only certain kinds of information can be copied and pasted. See “Copying
and Pasting Information Between Environments” in Chapter 6 for more
information.
Copying and pasting between the Mac OS and Windows works only if the
PC Clipboard extension is installed in the Extensions folder inside the System
Folder (in the Mac OS) and WINCLIP is installed in the Windows
environment.
Check the Control Panels folder in your System Folder to make sure that the
Macintosh Easy Open control panel is installed. Also, make sure the
Automatic Document Translation option in the control panel is turned on. To
open the Macintosh Easy Open control panel, choose Control Panels from the
Apple menu, and double-click the Macintosh Easy Open icon.
Windows must be running before you begin the copy-and-paste operation.
You cannot copy and paste between the Mac OS and DOS.
