Hi guys,
Is it possible for me to transfer my old A4000 hard drive files to the X1000 if I still have the old hard drive?
I tried plugging in the hard drive - hopefully I have the right one; I have a few old HDs now - into the IDE and nothing seems to show...
Transfer A4000 HD to X1000
Re: Transfer A4000 HD to X1000
Yes it is possible but only if your old 4000 HDD comes with FFS and SFS. Old 68k Filesystems like PFS3 dont work.
Bevor you do this make a Backup and remove any Filesystems in the RDB.
The X1000 doesnt need them.
I have testet this Years ago on my XE (still alive! and working).
It was a Specialboot-HD OS3.9 on 4000 and 4.1 on the XE.
But later I switch to Sata-HDD for my XE. So I use the old IDE als Backup and Spare-HDD for my 4000er
I think this can work on the X1000 too.

Cool. Do I have to follow any particular steps to make this work?
I was using FFS I think and I think I had OS3.9.
Would OFS and OS3.5 work as well?

Just connect the drive, OS4.1 should see it fine. So you can access all the data.gonegahgah wrote:Cool. Do I have to follow any particular steps to make this work?

If you have an external usb enclosure for ATA drive, you can try it too.
I've successfully connected classic amiga HDs using this way.

Also don't forget to check your master/slave settings.

Re: Transfer A4000 HD to X1000
Thanks guys for the suggestions.
I think that I'm trying the right hard drive (I hope) but nothing shows in Workbench?
The drive I have is a Quantum Series 3.5 hard drive which I believe is a whopping 3.2Gb.
I also seem to have a Quantum Series 3.5 8.4Gb hard drive as well. I'm not sure where it fits into my computing history.
Neither of them seem to show. I'll try some different cables as well soon.
Does the first one sound like the hard drive that would have come with the A4000?
I have set both these hard drives as master than slave without any success?
Is there any way to see what hard drive devices are connected even if they having an unsupported file system?
I tried Partition Wizard in Utilities but it doesn't even seem to open...

Partition Wizard doesn't work on the X1000.
If you have a CD/DVD drive, you could just burn the contents of those HDs to RW media & copy them over that way.

Media Toolbox should show them. Select the sb600ide.device on the first list, and the next one should show you the devices on it.gonegahgah wrote:Is there any way to see what hard drive devices are connected even if they having an unsupported file system?
