I really don't know what differences there are between Windiskimager and Winimage featurewise? Both read/write 100% bit perfect images AFAIK. NOTE: It's not necessary to grow the partition table, if you don't mind "wasting" the available space on the card. |

So I used WinImage on my 4GB card, then restored back to an 8GB card and used fixhddsize from my Amiga to free up the extra space. Thank you to all on this thread that made this upgrade a painless process! |

Hello all, I began initially looking at this thread to see about backing up my Amiga drives and obviously I found the information here very useful. But I found WinImage odd, I couldn't seem to do anything in it and I dunno in general I just couldn't get anything happening with my CF cards. So I found an alternative (not to discredit the recommendation of WinImage on here BTW) for anyone like me who may be didn't so something right or what have ya.
So what I used was a program called ImageUSB which can be found here https://www.osforensics.com/tools/write-usb-images.html and initially how I discovered it was here https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/create-image-usb-drive/ So hopefully this is of some use to some people. I found it a breeze. For testing purposes I cloned a driver, then wrote it back onto another CF card. Then for an even weirder test I wrote the same image onto a MicroSD which was in a SD to MicroSD card adapter which was also in an SD to CF card adapter and both of the copied drives worked no problem in my Amiga 1200. In fact the MicroSD copy of the drive, dare I say it, but it seemed to run a little quicker???!! Anyways hopefully my findings are of some use. I will be backing up any drives I make from now on and keeping them saved for the rainy day. Currently my main drive is a cheapo no name 16gb CF card which although does not boot right away after a soft reset it boots to workbench no problem. |
