This is what i'm trying to do, but how and what program to use?
The only tool i have is amiga forever link program.

I did not know if there is any program or anyway on making a clone of my partitions to a ADF file.

Thank you


You got it all wrong!! You do not partition your Amiga hard drive to ADF file that is impossible. It is like saying, hey guys...I am going to partition my Windows HD of 1 TB to a disk image of 1.44 Mb and I am going to put all the partitions and information of 1 TB into a single floppy disk of 1.44 MB. You can see the impossibility on that.

ADF = Amiga Disk File. It can only hold 880 KB. Even if your HD is 20 MB maximum there is no way you can put 20 MB into 880 ADF disk image.

What you want to do...is put it into a HDF image file....

I'm not sure why you want to make ADFs due to the size limitation. Perhaps I'm just not understanding what you are trying to do, but I think you may want to use a HDF (Hard Drive File)

Why not create a HDF under UAE the same size as your physical partition you want to backup then you can just mount the CF under UAE and use AmigaDOS to copy all files over to the HDF. example "copy CFHD0: VDH0: all"

then for the most part if your amiga CF ever becomes corrupt/damaged you can reverse the  process and restore the corrupt partition(s).

Is it me or is he a little bit obsessed with ADF? I have never read that many word "ADF" in a post in this forum than this post here. Let me count how many times ADF is being mentioned here? I will keep you posted with the update!
