Did it work with the CF card ?

[Dirty Jim]

I should do this as a backup when the inevitable disk failure happens Thanks!

So try the following

This adapter:

And use this Cloning software:

The Syba adapter is what I have used, and it works, the compact flash is UDMA Compact flash 7, and works, the only thing different, is the cloning software and adapater to the PC. Also, the CF needs to be on Slave, and ensure you are mounting it the correct way around!

Try the above, this should all work ok for you

Do we have to cut the pin or can we leave it ? Jagaer what did you do ?

[Jagaer]

Mert335d I didn't have to cut any pins, the CF to IDE adapter linked worked plug-and-play (assuming a good image of the original drive)

[Mert335d]

Jagaer I had to cut the pin in order to connect it to my cloning IDE Adapter. I will do the Upgrade and tell you if it worked !

I am not able to get the Kingston Canvas 128GB everywhere, does anyone have experience with other CF card which works? BTW I have the SYBA adapter already. Thanks

[MaximE91]

Interessato

[Mert335d]

I have the Syba ready too.
I bought a San Disk 128GB UDMA7 CF CARD.
In the next 2-4 weeks I will try and test if it works.

[Zeta]

Closer look at the syba adapter, the pin for P-ATA key is obstructing at P-ATA <=> USB adapter. Wondering how it connects without cutting the pin? Does anyone has experience?

[Mert335d]

I had to cut the pin to connect it to my USB IDE Adapter. The Adapter reads everything without any problems.

Please share a good disk image. My hdd is damaged and I need a valid disk image. Someone can help me?

[Zeta]

Thanks Mert335d for the info, did the CF card arrived and working fine? Even with the pin cut?

[Zeta]

Czywa, I will pull an image from my unit in a month or so, may be able to help you. Mine is North America CIC. However, I have no clue on how to make it work on a unit with different VIN or activation stuff.

[Mert335d]

@Zeta I will try it in the next weeks.

[Czywa]

I have corrupted data on the maps partition. Thus, the CIC resets all the time. CIC works fine without disk.

Not a problem, as long as yours are NA region CIC, I can share my disk image with you. PM is key!! Good luck

[KClemente]

Do you guys think we'll be able to use a CF to SD adapter? Compact flash has not followed the price trend of SD cards...

[Mert335d]

I successfully backed up my HDD from my CIC with HDD GURU 1.10.
You have to cut the right PIN in order to connect the Adapter. You can check it with the Picture.

In the next weeks I am gonna copy the RAW Image file to my Compact Flash Card 128GB from SanDisk.

I will keep you guys updated !

Thanks to Jagaer for that great tutorial.

When my mSATA fails I just tried the CF-solution. Here the parts I used:

128GB Komputerbay CF-Card

The Syba-Adapter wasn't available in Germany so I tried this one which seems very similar to me.

Inline CF-Adapter


I used the bit-by-bit copy from original HDD and cloned it with "dd" command to the CF card.
Afterward I was able to mount the CF-Card via the inline-adapter unter QNX but the CIC doesn't realize any partition.
No maps, no music

Maybe the CF-Card is here the problem. Did anyone successfully check this CF-Card?

[kiese]

In addition to my previous comment, the following information about the CF card used. This is not recognized by the CIC and has now been exchanged for a Sundisk Extreme Pro.

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This works perfectly

As useful additional information it should be noted that the IDE Interface is not on the Syba adapter but in the CF card. Therefore, in terms of compatibility with the CIC, the CF card is more likely to be the problem if it doesn't work.

[mThZz]

It works fine, thanks

[Czywa]

Has anyone tried with the CF to SD adapter?
It does not work in the configuration shown in the photo.
