"Not a DOS disk in drive DH0"

orange · 21 February 2011, 18:17

I get that error with my .hdf file in newer winuae version. (its been ages since last update)

Totalcommander reads the .hdf fine with suitable plugin. I think its OFS

It's too big. Enter the following values: Surfaces = 1, Sectors = 32.

Then create a new HDF which is smaller than 1GB and copy the files from the bad HDF to the new one.

you were spot on thomas, yet again. congrats

THANKS

btw, it seems to work great with those values, why would I need to copy to new hdf?

For instance: think about possible risk of (partial) data integrity loss.

but, I don't understand.
hdf has always been less than 1Gb and it worked fine with old winuae versions.

>512M default geometry has changed. Plain HDF without original geometry data was never guaranteed to work.

I formatted 500Mb pfs3 hardfile and copied almost all files.

but the problem is with two large files, 80Mb and 50Mb. I always get the error "disk is full". (although there's more than 300Mb free)

copying the same file to RAM: works great.

is the problem in pfs3?
