So I dug up a list of old Mac error codes and it turns out that Error -44 means the disk is write protected. I can probably figure that out but I'm not really sure that just copying the file in will work. Aren't there a bunch of hidden filesystem objects on HFS? Will those be properly created? I guess there's only one way to find out. 😅

Ok, never mind... I have no idea why the disk is write protected. I did manage to figure out how to select the download folder and I can see other System enablers there. I can't find any place to change the write status of the drive in Snow and I checked the permissions on the host system. Maybe I should stick to System 7.5.3?
