Dolly Error!!

I got to the point in hacking my ia1 where I can boot to dos from the CF. I put dolly on the CF, and then ran
dolly hd129 c:\winmsn.img
First, I got a registration thing which I filled out. Then I entered the command again. It said

Please enter the license key or 'TRIAL'

I entered TRIAL. Then I got

-Start of Program -
**** FATAL ERROR: Error opening file (No:11830) 'hd129'
Drive copy not successful!
-End of Program -

Help!!!!!!

very strange - fortunately, you can look at the internal SanDisk from your command line DOS prompt. since the booted external CF card configures as C:, then the first partition of the internal SanDisk is D:, and the second (recovery) partition is E:. So, just use the DOS 'DIR' command to look at the internal logical drives:

C:\> DIR /A D:
C:\> DIR /A E:

if that shows you valid directory listings, try your dolly operation, again. if it doesn't show you valid DOS directory listings, it's possible that you've overwritten/trashed your internal SanDisk.

Maybe I have an old one? It's date is 10-07-98, and it's 103,230 bytes. I see another one on some weird site that's bigger so maybe that's it? Is there a reasonably reputable place i can download the latest dolly? When I try cnet, znet, etc all the downloads fail

I did the two dirs you suggested and got reasonable looking results both times. Maybe I'm using the wrong version of dollly. Where did you get yours?

My problem? I was typing hd129 instead of hd129: (i.e. no colon).
