No idea I'm afraid!

Your path to the image must be incorrect

The path was definitely correct. As I said I used tab completion to ensure the path and filename were correct.

I have just created an empty d81 in DirMaster, loaded it in to VICE, formatted it, and successfully saved/reloaded a Hello World BASIC programme on to it. I'm just about to try writing that to a disk.

Sorted :-D It must have been the image I was using. Here's what I did:

1. Installed DirMaster
2. Installed WinVICE
3. Created an empty d81 image in DirMaster and saved it
4. Configured WinVICE to use a 1581 as drive 8
5. Opened the blank d81 in VICE
6. Formatted the blank d81
7. Saved a test BASIC programme
8. Copied the d81 to my Amiga and used the 1581 tool to write the d81 image to the disk

This image then worked in the 1581, and I was able to load the test app and also save a new one to the disk.

Thanks all
