copy:13: Access denied

Hi,

I seem to be having a problem with copying files to a disk, i type it as: copy list disk/list.
But when i press enter it returns: copy:13: Access denied
I've searched around but haven't found any solutions, I've tried oping computercraft with: [Computercraft] but this doesn't help.
if someone could help me that would be great :)/>

It's because the list program is on the ROM, so you can't copy it. Also, it is in every computers so no need to copy it to a disk :)/>

Just to add some extra information, i made the list program :)/> is there a way i can get it out of the ROM so i can copy it?
or do i need to just copy the ROM maybe?

Computercraft is confusing list with rom/programs/list. Try renaming the program to MyList or something.

Can you not just copy the "list" program to a folder outside of the rom? cp /rom/programs/list /list ?

embarrassingly, it appears i used the wrong floppy disk, but even with the proper floppy disk in the disk drive, and renaming the program, it still wont work, i've also found out i cant enter the disk with 'cd disk'

Where is the disk drive in relation to the computer? Is the light on the disk drive green or red when the disk is in it?

The disk drive is on the left of the computer and the light is green

Open up the lua prompt and run these commands; let us know what the results were:

disk.isPresent("left")
disk.hasData("left")
disk.getMountPath("left")
