How to make backup copy from Workbench?
« on: February 10, 2012, 02:29:28 PM »
Hi guys!
So I got an original Workbench 1.3 for amiga. Now I want to copy it to empty floppy. How can I do that?

Thanks -Eemil

Insert the empty disk, wait until its icon appears then drag the Workbench icon over the empty disk's icon. If you have only one floppy drive you will need to change disks very often.

Another option is to use a copy program like X-Copy.


Not working! When dragging Workbench1.3 icon to empty, it's giving following error message: "Error while opening SYS:System/DiskCopy: 205". And I don't have any other apps like X-Copy.

What now?

Oh, got it working!
DiskCopy was in wrong folder, so I copied it to System folder. But i am trying to write to PC DD floppy, but I always get an error at the end. Is it  because of floppy size? I know that amiga floppy size is 880kb and PC DD is 720kb? Should I try an HD disk?

PS. I have 1MB ram and external disk drive.

Thanks -Eemil

But one more time... sorry :)

I apologise for that absurd outburst.

I would just like to say, this is the most humble day of my life.


No problem :)
