How to install the disk copy program

i recieved a computer from my colleg and want to install disk copy but the files are in a format that needs disk copy to open them (.smi,.part,etc.)how do i install disk copy when the install neds disk copy to run. i do not have the original install disk!!!! so do not ask if i have install disk.

Would it be correct to assume that you are trying to install the downloadable System 7.5.3 , e.g. the US version here? If so, the computer in question (Performa 638CD?) will have to have a usable operating system on the hard disk; or a startup floppy or CD will be needed.
As Niel has indicated above, you are not going to need a separate Disk Copy application for a self-mounting image.
However, please note that the files available for download are protected by a MacBinary (.bin) encoding. StuffIt Expander would be required for the decoding. If the download has been carried out on a PC, leave the encoded files intact until on a Mac. Do not try to decode the .bin on a PC.
Once on the Mac where you want to install System 7.5.3, decode the .bin (if this has not been done earlier, in an appropriate Mac environment). Then, place the decoded files (one .smi and eighteen .part) in a common folder on the hard disk. Double-click on the .smi; this will mount the total image. The installer will be found in the mounted image. Run the installer.
Should you in a particular case really need Disk Copy (for instance, for .img files), the program can be found here. You will notice that version 6.3.3 is packaged as a self-mounting image, protected by MacBinary. Decode the .bin on the Mac, double-click on the .smi, and finally drag-copy the Disk Copy program from the image to the hard disk.
If you do not have access to a suitable StuffIt Expander version for the older Mac, please post back.

  • How to install the same copy of creative suite on the second computer?

    Basically I am using a Macbook Pro and upgraded my hard disk. A
    After I have recovered the data using time machine, I was unable to access my CS6 applications, which all became trial version. So I would like to know how to install the same copy of creative suite on the new drive.

    Transferring does not usually work - you need to install using installation files, the same way you originally installed the program(s).

    If you have an iCloud Backup, it is linked to your Apple ID and password, as long as that is what you used, with iCloud, when doing that backup on your old phone. There are several Apple Support documents about backups (both iTunes and iCloud) and you'll see them below. It should explain how to get your iCloud a Backup restored on your new phone.

    I own a copy of lightroom 5 (a download copy) and have had to install a new hard disk. I can't remember how I got the current copy but I think I may have downloaded a monthly rental copy because the program is asking me to pay a subscription fee.  I was expecting to get a message to install my serial numbers.

    You downloaded the trial version for the creative cloud. It doesn't work with a serial number. It is licensed differently. You will have to uninstall it and then download and install from here:

  • The computer I use at work is a PC. I know you are allowed to install the programs on two computers, one work computer and one laptop. My laptop is a Mac. Is it possible to install the second copy on a Mac?

    I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum for this question, but I don't know where else to ask about installing on cross platforms. So, the computer I use at work is a PC. I know you are allowed to install the programs on two computers, one work computer and one laptop. My laptop is a Mac. Is it possible to install the second copy on a Mac?

    Which Adobe product exactly?
    Cloud: yes.

    Thanks for the response.   My system is Windows 7 with a painfully slow ATT
    high speed connection.
    I got the "Cloud" including CS6 , yesterday,after a chat with a nice Indian
    fellow who called me back from Bombay.  Surprisingly he was looking forward
    to Thanksgiving too but probably because he gets a day off.
    I now have the Adobe Premiere Pro loaded (it took nine hours) and
    installed.  Now I'm starting the tutorials.
    Hopefully I'll be editing soon.
    Thanks again

  • Hi, I just put a new internal hard disk to my MacBook after formattimg it and I don't know how to install the OS X? Any help please

    Hi, I just put a new internal hard disk to my MacBook after formattimg it and I don't know how to install the OS X? Any help please

    Be sure you have prepared the new drive correctly:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
    When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Complete the OS X installation.

  • When i try to install snow leopard with install disk, it has me restart the computer instead of installing. can anyone help me figure out how to get the disk to actually install?

    when i try to install snow leopard with install disk, it has me restart the computer instead of installing. can anyone help me figure out how to get the disk to actually install?

    Ok, it's just a glitch that it's not auto-rebooting from the disk.
    Please backup your personal files off the machine to a regualr external drive and disconnect all drives before doing anything
    Take the 10.6 disk out and clean and polish the bottom with a very soft clean cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to cut the oils.
    Stick the disk in and reboot holding c key down, this will make it boot from the disk and you can install Snow Leopard that way.

    Yeah.  I remember when I had that board.  I found the best SATA ports were the Promise ones, but...

  • I receive an error message when trying to install the latest Itunes program on my computer using windows 7, 64. I receive the message, "service  apple mobile device fails to start"

    What must I do to install the latest Itunes program using windows 7, 64. The program stops when the service portion is installing and states, "Service Apple mobile division fails to start"

    Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
    I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
    Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
    "P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

    So, you can't Install OSX to the external?
    Or you can't boot from it when you do?
    You're not the only one wondering... I'm reminded of the Goose that laid the Golden Egg story.
