Ok, I get what you are saying, you have made an image of the SD card. My next question would be why are you creating the HDF file in the first place when you are just going to write it back to the SD card in the end? Why not just mount the SD card and run it as the hard drive directly? That is what I do with my CF cards. I have a mirror setup of my real 1200 and I just plug-in my CF card, do what I want. Then when plugging into my Amiga any changes are reflected there. Unless there is an issue running it like this that I don’t know about, it seems to be less fuss.
