Back Up drive not big enough

jeffreysmith01 · 12-17-2006, 12:53 PM

Hey guys,

I have an expanded A (200M), and an expanded B (180M), that I am trying to put onto one new C (400m). I am getting an error message:

backup drive not large enough

I've tried the mfslive ISO and the mfstools ISO.

Any suggestions?

Standard mfstools 2 cannot support this operation because you can only add one expansion partition set. to an A drive. Your A drive already has one set. I think that this mode of operation is one mode that mfslive does not support. Your only real option is to backup/restore without saving programs.

mfslive is lba 48 compatible i'm in the process to find how to find the allocation value to correctly size the image i hear it could be done using

mfsbackup - f 9999 - so- /dev/hdx (ydev/hdy) | mfsrestore - s 127 - r 4 -xzpi - /dev/hd (/dev/hdz)

But, i haven't tried this yet on my new drive image
