    From what I could tell loop7 was formatted without any errors.

    Btw, my hard drive is FAT32 as well so that is probably the cause of the problem.

    It's important for us to know what size where the disk images under FAT32. Were they about 4GB or much larger?

    Thanks for the report, the file was probably 1 byte too big for FAT32.
