Hello,
I do have a similar issue with my Lisa.
The LOS 7/7 3.1D is only installed on the external Profile, The Lisa has a internal Wifget drive.
I had no chance to get the installation disks fpr LOS 7/7 3.1D (german), Actual the Profile is getting worse, nice sound becomming louder, Just to summerize, the idea is to copy by drag an drop the whole drive on the other drive,
and this will copy the LOS , bootable too ? Greetings
Uwe

You have to use the Apple D command to duplicate the file. If you do that to the disk icon it will give you a blinking disk, then you can drag that blinking icon to the copy destination.

No, unfortunately not yet. But I´ll see if I can get one.

Drag and drop doesn´t work like a copy function here. If I drag and drop a file to floppy is is deleted at it´s source place.

Using Macworks XL the files are duplicated then. But LOS 7/7 they´re moved.
