Prod_Prep 39.1
« on: September 03, 2024, 02:57:07 PM »

Prod_Prep v39.1
=========

WARNING: This is an advanced partitioning and format tool. Incorrect usage will definately damage your harddisk structure. You have been warned!

Prod_Prep is the ugly but otherwise powerful brother of HDToolBox. It comes hidden, and is never installed by default. Can be located in the 3.1 floppy disk "Install3.1", inside the C: drawer. It is a very comfortable tool for automatically deploying an entire Amiga system from within a script. It lets you partition and format harddrives in a non interactive manner by feeding the program the proper instructions from a shell/script.

It is still bound to the same limitations that the 3.1 HDToolbox has. All the same warnings about HDToolBox from 3.1 apply to Prod_Prep.


Hi, this is a very handy tool but whenever i try to run it with a layout.script i get Error on write -4, if i run with those argument only "device scsi.device unit 0" i get can't open RDSK! i have tried on Winuae, real machine and different OS versions, i wrote a tool to see if i can read the RDB block correctly and it reported correctly, so there is some thing that i don't understand or some bug in the program..can you help?

I use the RDB / partitioning tool from 3.9, which works perfect. Sets up RDB, partitions all from a file.
I also created scripts, that sets up HDD, then writes the info I want to it, with one click.

what tool is it, name? any documentation?

Its same program, prod_prep 39.1. Working fine here. Use it almost every day for last 12 years.
Mainly in WinUAE, with real HDD's.

I did a search for it on the 3.9 cd but can't find it... ???
