System.zip is only 66MB?

Snowwie · 18 February 2012, 01:35

I have downloaded the FULL version of Classic Workbench for my A1200 (Blizzard 1220/4 + CF 4GB).

I have become to the point where I created a System.zip file using Dopus in WinUAE.

I am not sure what to make of it, but the zip file is now only 66MB in filesize, while the original HDF file is 524MB. Is this correct? Or does the HDF file also contain 'empty' HD space too?

Another issue is the Real_Amiga_Install.adf file. If I extract this file with ADF-Blitzer it creates a No-Dos disk.

The filesize is correct and you could use a better ADF to disk utility like Thomas's TSGui.

I found out that since you'll use a CF card, the quickest way of setting it up is by just cloning your WinUAE setup to your CF card from WinUAE

Just fix the environment as you like it best, and then mount your CF Disk and copy it to the CF.

For example, you can mount the ClassicWB installation as SDH0: while DH0: is your real CF.
Then once your system boots and you see both hard drives you open a CLI and enter:
1> copy SDH0: DH0: ALL CLONE

...and you're set in seconds
