How to clone my hdd

Gavilan · 09 November 2005, 20:32

Hi there!
I have my Amiga 1200 HDD (850 MB), full of things.
Im about to moving into a bigger one (maybe 20 gigas)
I have OS 3.1 roms, and 3.9 system
The actual HDD has 3 partitions : hd0 (workbench), hd1 (stuff) and hd2 (games)

My question is: how could i "clone" my 850 MB into the bigger one, so i just unplug the smallest, put the new one, swithc my machine on, and have exactly the same stuff??

Is it possible doing this just copying everything using DOpus, and then changing the names of the partitions on the new hdd? (i put as slave, and partitioned just like the samll one, but instead of hd0,hd1 and hd2, i have dh0, dh1 and dh2). I dont want to mess up thing with Assign or things like that, just need to clone the disc

Thanks in advance

That´s exactly the easiest method

Just put both HDs in, copy from one to the other, remove the old one and make the new one bootable (HDToolBox) and ....... so on

If someone is interested in this in the future, the command to use is:

copy dh0:#? dh1: all clone

copy dh0:#? dh1: all clone quiet

is a better (faster) choice

DOPUS is nicer to use

And it doesn't matter if the 2 harddisk's partitions are named hd0, hd1 etc. because amiga mounts the other same named as hd0.1, hd0.2 etc. It's a wise one

I've tried and didn't like it, not so comfortable to use than DOPUS IMO. And it did crash quite often too.
