'clone' virtual HDD in winuae to real Amiga HDD?

gizmomelb · 11 December 2009, 01:06

Hi all,

having a completely off morning and buggered if I can find the info on here (too many hits with 'hdd', 'install' etc.) but what I'm wondering:

is there an easy way to copy / clone a winuae virtual HDD config across to a real amiga HDD? (once you've connected the Amiga HDD to the PC etc. of course)

Many thanks.

Install the real HDD with HDToolbox and then copy all files from the virtual HDD to the real HDD. That's all.

If the virtual HDD is a RDB-HDF and the HDD if bigger than the HDF, you could also use TSGUI to copy the HDF to the HDD and then use FisHDDSize to add the extra space. But the additional space can only be used for a new partition. You cannot change partition sizes without loosing data.
