Title: How to 'un-zip' a .HDF file on my PC?
Post by: mingle on December 13, 2007, 04:09:14 AM

Hi,

Is there any simple way to 'un-zip' (for want of a better phrase!) an Amiga hard disk file (.HDF) into a normal directory structure on my (WinXP) PC?

I have a HDF which I'm using with WinUAE, but I much prefer to have the files in a standard directory structure, that I can easily access form windoze, rather than having everything stuck in a HDF...

Is it possible?

Cheers,

Mike.

ADFOpus (http://adfopus.sourceforge.net/) will allow you to copy files out of the HDF. Alternatively just add a Windows folder as a new HDD in WinUAE and copy the files (inside AmigaOS) from the partition inside the HDF to the partition inside the folder.

Thanks Moto,

The second option is so obvious, I don't know why I didn't think of it!

Guess I have a peanut for a brain!

Cheers,

Mike.

No worries. Sometimes the easy answer is not so obvious when you're convinced it's going to be complicated :-)

Moto is right! Ask Microsoft - they know ALL about that! :-D
