Oddly I think the partition with the .hdv info I copied over is fine as I can look at it in prodos and with the launch utility.  What on earth could it be?  Why the fourth partition?  There's nothing on any other partition other than the first (system) and the second (the .hdv full of games).

This is a shot in the dark but are you aware that a .hdv image is 
variable in size and may be smaller than the volume directory header 
indicates it is?  The .hdv image type was created to conserve space on a 
disk.  It increases in size as files are added to it.  So if you create 
say a 32MB image and only put 20MB of data on it the image will be ~20MB 
in size but the header will say its 32MB.  Some programs may not handle 
this properly.  You can create a .hdv image by renaming a .po image 
extension to .hdv and then the header and size will match.
