[Coco] sdc issue

[Josh Harper]

I loaded a file of the disk image I made an it worked as well
justcant get my pc to recognize the file so vcc knows what it is
downloaded images from internet work fine and windows reconizes the file as dsk and then vcc works

I don't see anything wrong unless the floppy disk you copied had nothing on
it.  What happens when you insert the floppy disk and enter:
DRIVE 0,OFF
DIR 0

You could have avoided the problem of the missing .DSK extension by
providing it when created:
DRIVE 1,"MUSIC.DSK",NEW

If there are indeed files on the floppy disk, do they show up on the SD
image after the Backup?
BACKUP 0 TO 1
DIR 1
