Title: got ADF2DISK working. need help on an error though
Post by: 3246251196 on April 27, 2006, 03:19:32 PM
ok. i have yet to get a pcmcia card (or a null-modem cable) but there is this way i have researched how to get info from PC to AMIGA. anyway, that is not the point

i have a file named: "disk.2" -

now, i also copied ADF2DISK into the C folder of WB so that it is an established command.

disk.2 i have copied to the hdd

in cli i type: "adf2disk disk.2" it comes up with a message directly beneath saying:

"Diskimage must be 901120 Bytes"

so i think that implies the file disk.2 yes? but why is this so!?

(by the way i have just renamed disk.2 to HSBd2)

thanks!

All adf files are 901120 bytes, or 880KB, which is the size of a DD Amiga disk.  If the file 'disk.2' isn't 901120 bytes then it isn't an adf file, and so you can't write it to a disk using adf2disk.  ADF files generally have the file extension '.adf'.

actually it said disk.1 and disk.2 and it had a SLAVE file so i think it was meant to be a HDD game tbh. yeah?

Yeap, they're not adf images.

hmm check this out though:

Desert Strike (by the way ALL the games in question are games that i DO own and have bought):

(http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/4918/ds0sf.jpg)

there is some HDD stuff BUT there are also the three disk (adf disk???)

is this folder a combination of the HDD installed version via WHDload AND also an inclusion of the three ADFs??

Seems to me, is it really as old an install as the dates show?
Meaning an update might be needed with recent WHDLoad.
