I have a bootable CF drive, using an old version of DOS on an older voicemail system I need to clone same Source is a 4 GB drive from an existing working system, destination is a 4 GB drive. I go through the process Look at the destination disk All info seems to be there. Yet none of the 4 drives I've tried to clone, will boot. I don't see how I could screw this up, but nonetheless, the cloned drives won't work Any suggestions ? HDD GURU has works well on SD drives, and other SmartMedia cards I've used on other systems. Any timely help would be appreciated. Max |

Perhaps there is an ATAPI - ATA identification issue? https://www.csse.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/hardware/pb150/PB150_and_CompactFlash.html You could use HDAT2 to send the ATA Identify Device and ATAPI Identify Packet Device commands, and then capture the outputs to 512-byte files for analysis with a hex editor. |

See the references to "fixed drive" on pages 26 and 47 of this specification: http://www.reactivedata.com/Products/ProductManuals/SanDiskCFProductManual_V3.pdf Notice that word 0 of the Identify Device info block differentiates between a fixed drive and a removable drive. Quote: Fixed Drives enables booting from the CF Card. No software tool required.
