CH2, Moving & Copying Icons, Dragging from the Title Bar - Frequently asked question dragging to copy a disk

"Honestly, though: Why are you trying to copy a CD this way in the first place? Using Disk Utility (“DigitalColor Meter”) instead saves space, lets you assign a password, and usually fools whatever software was on the CD into thinking that it’s still on the original CD."

“DigitalColor Meter” seems to be the incorrect utility for this operation

Don't know if this is "serious" as much as very, very frustrating. (BTW: Same misstatement appears in Mojave version of Missing Manual.) "Disk Warrior" isn't an option - oh, how it wish it were! There's no indication when Alsoft will be releasing an APFS-compatible version. Also, it would be very helpful if an explanation of which icon to select when choosing a disk on which to perform First Aid. For example, in Figure 11-40 thee disk icons are displayed under the heading "internal"
