Hi all
So basically I am trying to clonedisk / imagedisk this machine, due to its highest level of proprietary design - all described in this thread Quite a SCI-FI thing
The problem is I cannot get anything booting besides the floppy drive. I've successfully found and powered up my PCMCIA USB card with a DVD-RW USB connected to it, also managed to use my ''toy'' to connect anything from 2,5 & 3,5 HDDs & Optical devices (SATA and PATA) - all worked in DOS smoothly. But how to get these devices to boot again? Used common DOS drivers like USBCD.SYS / USBASPI.SYS combo, works well. But I need to get them booting (want to boot HIREN's BOOT CD to use some of those HDD cloning / imaging utilities in miniXP).
I've used many locally run programs in the OS, but none of them worked properly as you may find at the end of the above mentioned thread. Tried that g4u as suggested, but that gives me error 79, guess I gotta contact the developers.
Anyways any other boot managing utilities that pop up in your minds? All I wish to do is make a 6GB image of my HDD without extracting the HDD physically. There's GOTTA be a way!
