In windows I made an image of my 4gb sandisk CF drive, and put that on a kingston 4gb, so I could use the sandisk in my PCMCIA adapter. - the Kingston only works internally.
Copying the image onto the kingston, I had a couple of error messages near the end. However the card still worked and booted my workbench install just fine so I ignored it.
the only problem i seem to have now after about a week is that a couple of WHDload directories have "Read Errors" when opening, the contents otherwise seem ok.
I can delete all the files out of the problem folders but I can't delete the folders themselves. fortunately none of this is going on in my boot partition so I could just copy the contents out, format it and put everything working back in, but I'm wondering eh? and wha? I tried 'swipe' to remove the folders, again no luck.
What did you use to make an image?
Personally I always use WinUAE to "clone" amiga drives using "copy xxx to xxx
all clone" from within the emulated Workbench as it ensures perfect copies of drive contents every time...even if to/from Windows folders/fake partitions; this is due to the extra Amiga file preservation bits it stores in seperate files along with the Amiga files (if on NTFS for example), which UAE then interprets from within the emulation to reconstruct the Amiga file properties as they would be as if held on a native Amiga drive. So when handling Amiga files on my PC I always do so from within the Workbench under UAE.
My WinUAE setup doesn't like CF drives all that much any more - hasn't liked them for over a year, and I'm not sure why exactly. Weird... anyway I use 2.5" Hard Drives 9/10 times.
