Hi Davide, ... The DD Unix utility might be of course an interesting option but maybe it could be more useful for SD cards written with the QL-SD interface rather than a Qubide hard disk (especially if it has more than one partition) Whilst it's true that this was written with these cards in

Hi all, I’ve been following this thread with some interest as I still have some QL hardware (SGC/Qubide/Aurora) which I recently converted from a spinning IDE hard drive to a Compact Flash card using an adapter. I then added an additional adapter with an external slot to use as a backup

Hi Bob, This problem also exists on the HD drive of my Aurora or QXL-PC. If I can find a working DD drive I may test this later. Again just to be clear : yo also cannot read/write/format disks when they are HD (1.4 MiB) disks, when using he Aurora. Does this need a GOldcard or
