This is most likely because of a missing resource fork. When a Mac
file is copied to the PC, the resource fork, type and creator
information are lost. 

Lost forks can be avoided by first encoding your files on the
Macintosh with DropStuff (in the file section) into SIT format which
saves the Mac specific data with the file. As long as the file is kept
in SIT format on the PC, the file can exist on a single fork machine
(PC, UNIX) or be telecommunicated and decoded at the other end with
all Mac information intact.

Obviously keeping files in SIT format does not work if you need to use
a PC program like EMXP. This is where FileTyper (in the group files
section) comes in. Running FileTyper on your Mac, you can fix banks
with orphaned resource forks. I just posted a screenshot to the Sound
Designer folder in the group photos section with the correct settings
to use in FileTyper to restore your missing fork SD banks.

Using the FileTyper solution, if your Mac can read PC formatted
floppies (using PC Exchange or DOS Mounter), you do NOT have to use
MacDisk at all. 

PS: There is another program called ResEdit that will accomplish the
same thing as FileTyper, but ResEdit will only fix one bank at a time,
where FileTyper can do entire folders at once.
