1GB > 4GB CF Card Upgrade - Problem!

[Robbie]

Hi there,
Here is my problem...

For some reason i've been using a 1gb flash card for a while now in my A1200 and I've got it set up just as I like it. I had a 4GB card lying around though so it made sense to use it. The easiest way to do so I thought, was to make an image of the 1gb card on a PC and copy it to the 4gb card. So I did this, and now the 4gb card is working perfectly, but unfortunately most programs only recognise it as a 1gb card still, and HD Toolbox won't let me update the disk data without erasing everything.

Skip to the end...

Is there any way I can update the disk information and add/extend partitions without losing all my data?

Thanks in advance!

You can make the additional space available to HDToolbox so that you can add more partitions: http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/fixhddsize

But you cannot change existing partitions without loosing all data of the changed partitions.
