The linked "file" is an .ISO which is a disk image not a regular file.
You may need to save it and then mount the .ISO which then makes that file behave like another disk.

If your operating system can't mount the drive "virtual clone drive" is still out there and works. Steve doesn't like it because the logo is a sheep and not  a goat.

No Mr. Earlbrown it is asking me to insert a blank disk to save the manual to.  But my son installed some program that allowed me to download the manual.  I had the manual on disk but lost it along with my car in the Louisiana floods of August.
I have found another car since but I have been having issue after issue.
I don't think that the entire manual downloaded because I seem to recall the manual going into more detail.   For instance I have been chasing down a code 42 issue and I have gone through the trouble shooting several times on the vortex-buick site.  I have it narrowed down to a CKT423 short,  but I thought I recalled the old manual I had on CD gave full wiring schematics.  I am going to erase the copy I have and attempt to download it again tomorrow.

Thanks

Now an .ISO file is different. That's a disk image file, not an actual file/folder like a .pdf.


for that, you'll have to save the .iso to your hard drive then convert it to actual .pdf files.

ie: mount the ISO and copy the PDFs to your regular HD

I had not looked at it in a long time...but, it is indeed an .iso file.  Your son should be able to get it all with no problem and then install it on your hard drive just like the original disk.

Thanks, yes it is an ISO file.  That's what he told me it was.  He got it installed.

Hi Mr. Steve, it's been a while.  I'm note running a MAF it's a SD2 set-up.  I need to update my signature.

you are too smart for me, Theo!  I stopped with the SD1...I don't have to think much to use it.

The page with the code 42 shows where the wire goes....from the module to the computer

Glad he got fixed for you.  Sure glad our kids are computer savvy....makes them useful for something!
