Copying software from old HDD to new CF
« on: April 14, 2017, 06:41:17 PM »
Hi all,

I have an A4000/030 which hadn't been used since 1996. I bought keyboard and mouse adapter, 3.1 rom, gotek and 8gb CF with workbench loaded.

Everything worked perfectly but I couldnt find what to for copying my apps from old HDD to new CF. First I directly copied files old HDD to CF. Some apps (mostly games) worked by this method but apps like ppage4.0, brilliance and imagine didn't.

I also backed up the cf and copied the workbench from old hdd to new cf and fixed paths and other thinks I can find in startup-sequence and user-sequence but no go.

I discovered that I can't still run from apps CF even if I boot from old HDD. But I can run them if I moved them to another folder in old HDD.

When I try to run them from shell it says files are not executable.

Please help me!!! Once I called myself an Amiga Expert but after all those years everything is gone :(

Hi all,

Thank you for your answers and sorry for my late response. Got sick and recently starting to feel well. I will try your suggestions and will report back the result.
