amiga harddrive to floppy ADF
« on: August 23, 2011, 10:04:59 PM »
Ok stupid question I imagine but I cant seem to get it to work. I have burned some ADF's to a cd and copied them from the CD  to my Amigas hard drive. Now I want to put one from the HD to a floppy disk but when I simply format the floppy and drag and drop the ADF from the HD to the floppy it copies so much then says disk full. When I try and boot from the floppy it doesn't work. I have always used Amiga explorer to make adf floppies but thought this method would be quicker, what am I doing wrong!?

When using Workbench if you drag the adf to the floppy it will try to copy the adf as a file. You instead need to write the adf directly to the disk. There are numerous tools for this, for example tsgui.

It's quite easy to assume Workbench would work the same way as Amiga Explorer does, but here it doesn't.

Yep, I highly suggest TsGUI as well!

What you want to do is go into Command Line and type:

Mount RAD:

This will set aside part of your RAM to use as a virtual Floppy disk.

You then load up TsGUI and well...

...the rest should be VERY obvious.

Select your RAD Drive.

Select ADF.

Write to RAD.

Or if you are using a real floppy, then select DF0 instead and forget everything I just said about RAD. :)
