I copied the system partition on a Mac mini to a file on a Windows share. From there I want to mount it. But I can not access the partitions and files through FileImageCtrl or Mounter. I read http://library.morph.zone/Tips_and_Tricks#Copying_a_Whole_Disk_As_an_Image_File but it has not much info. What I do is:
FileImageCtrl: drag the image file here. set filesystem to MorphOS SFS because I know that it is the system partition which is SFS. Then click "Mount". nothing happens. the drive icon does not show up on Ambient screen or listers. then I hit "Unmount" and "put back", quit FileImageCtrl and try the following instead:
FileImageCtrl: drag the file here. Open Mounter. select fileimage.device. click on it. click the partition in the list and choose filesystem to MorphOS SFS. Then I click "Mount" but again no icon for the mounted partition shows up on Ambient screen and listers. Then alternatively after unmounting the file in Mounter I create a mountlist file and mount this from Shell. Again nothing happens. No new partition shows up. When I open HDConfig instesad then the file image is mounted but is empty. I have to set MBR first and create partitions. Why? It already has a SFS partition on it. A hint what I do wrong would be nice.

Which shows INFO command after mounted partition?

Which shows INFO command after mounted partition?

THe partition does not show up in Ambient or Shell, so info cannot show anything.

Are You sure that file partition is good?
Test operation on a smaller image. eg memory stick


I made copies of my 70GB drive (4 partitions) and I have no problem when mouting. I used it MorphOS and usb drive exFAT.

I copied it with Ambient from RAWDISK to the target partition, so it should be "good". I used the system partition which is just 2GB in size so not really large.
