I was trying to use APE for windows to backup my files from the HHD I setup on my Atari. So I created a 16MB disk with APE. Mounted it as a disk. Went over to my Atari, configured the drive, formatted it. Put MyDOS on it. Everything looked normal.

Then I used option J in MyDOS (Copy Disk), with /N to not format the destination drive. I watched what looked like the entire drive get copied. I saw from sectors 1 - 65535.

When I did a directory on the virtual drive at first everything looked correct. Then I noticed in each of the sub-folders there was only 6 or so files. All the rest where gone.

Anyone have any idea what's up? It sure looked like the entire drive was copied but the directory structure got truncated.

I have no idea..... :-(
What type of interface do you use?

I normally make a sectordump from the compleet HD to my PC with a sector-editor using a USB-to-IDE cable on the PC.
Then use Altirra to extract data from the sector-dump.

Never did a disk copy of 16 Mb, perhaps Larry can help you out

I used the SIO2PC serial cable.
Which sector copier do you use? I'll try that.

I used a simple sector copier and everything came over fine. It was like MyDOS treated the drives as Single density even though they were marked correctly as double.

Great. :-) MyDOS can be buggy from time to time.....

I use "Roadkil's Sector Editor Version 1.4 (c) 2005" on the PC, nice and small.
Can handle logical and physical drives.
