Get VirtualFloppy from aminet and diskwiz from Codetapper's action site and extract .adf files to virtual floppies.

Maybe Giana means in Windows. In that case, it's ADFView:

If you want to mount ADF files under AmigaOS (not Windows), the best solution is ADF device.
No need to "extract" ADFs, just type "insertdisk <adf-file>" (or make a hotkey, menu-item etc.) and it gets mounted immediately. |

Hey that's a good one!!! No need to reset to change ADFs like in FMS!
BTW, STUPID newbie question here... I used to be able to UNMOUNT devices but I forgot how! How was it, Korodny? |

Sorry for raising the dead but rather than duplicate effort I thought it would be best to mention here:
The command "insertdisk <adf-file>" gives the output: InsertDisk UNIT/K/N,FILE/F Use this with adf.device But nothing mounted. Anyone know how to do that? |

Try 'InsertDisk UNIT 0 filename'
EG InsertDisk UNIT 0 WB1.3.adf EDIT: Have you mounted AD0: (UNIT 0)? |

Error inserting disk into unit 0 And no, I haven't explicitly mounted AD0. I'm assuming that should be done afterwards since it wouldn't exist prior to the first command returns successfully. |

I have an A1200 too. Thanks for checking and for introducing me to AmigaGuide.
I'm contacting the author via the email address provided in the guide and I'll post back with the results! |

If you are using an A1200 then you can also use DiskImage for mounting ADF's.

I've found a guide for that here: https://ftp.fau.de/aminet/docs/help/mountvirtual.pdf
Let's see how it goes Thank you Arnie. |

So, I have left a thread without closure, something I despise seeing in other threads! I am getting more forgetful by the week and subscriptions are not helping
I got a response from a developer who offered to attempt to track down the code if I was willing to debug myself. I don't think I want to put him (or me) to that effort so I passed. I don't remember if I tried the pdf above but I will give it a go soon and update the thread. My goal now is to resolve threads I have started since there are quite a few. |

The best, easiest tool that I've found is ADF_Device, which can be downloaded from here http://bfugl.dk/Download.asp
Just follow the installation instructions in the AmigaGuide included in the download. After, to add an ADF to a virtual drive just execute "Insert.script <adf file name>" - you'll then be prompted (pop-up) for the device number (maximum of 8 concurrent devices). And to unload the file, execute "Remove.script <adf file name>" - again, you'll be prompted for the device. I've added these commands to my DiskMaster (tool similar to Dopus) so I just click on the file and execute either the Insert or Remove scripts - piece of cake! |

Thanks Smakar. I get a 'file is not executable' error for the script, even though in Information the 'executable' box is ticked.
But running adf_device verbatim according to the instructions I get success. Here's what I did: Code:
mount ad0: from devs:adf.ml InsertDisk UNIT 0 backtoskool3.adf diskchange ad0: (important if you want the icon to show in Workbench) Edit: I fixed the script by running protect <filename> +e Edit2: actually, I think the problem was that the 'script' field was not ticked under Information. The file was executable all along but the error wasn't accurate. Ignore the protect command. Last edited by TenLeftFingers; 18 July 2015 at 15:38. Reason: Strickthrough the +e command in agreement with BigFan, below |

Never a DOS script can be "executable". Use "protect +s" for this. It allows to run them from shell as if they are executable. In WB you need an icon with iconx as default tool (or a similar program like xicon). You don't need protection bits "s" and "e" then.
