You can use your HDD to multiboot but you can only use images that are made for the 500HD
You can only mulitboot images that are uisng the same kernel and drivers.
Backup does what it is told to do. it depends what you selected to backup - afaik it doesn't back up the complete image - there may be a plugin somewhere.
[update] found a backup for nfi image on another board - there are loads of pages about it - all in german.
Setting up a swapfile is normally a good thing, but seeing as it goes to the hdd it can mean the hdd is on a lot more than normal. On my 8000 I set the swap to CF not hdd, but you can't do that on a 500hd.
As Sonic1 said - if you have 1.6 image in flash - you have to use a 1.6 in multi-boot (can't use 1.5 image).

ok thanks for that. so how do i go about putting image on hdd.
Just use an ftp client and ftp it to the hdd.
For simple jobs (like this) I use FireFTP (Firefox plugin)
right what ive done is used flash fxp gone to / hdd backup what is the chmod and is it in the right place because when i look at thee hdd thru db restore yellow button i can only see the back that i made ie back up your settings were have i gone wrong now thanks
kennyboy - suggest you read what you wrote - it doesn't make any sense (to me anyway).
ok sorry can you give me step by step how to put image on hdd thanksOriginally Posted by kennyboy
hdd is already set up on db
As far as I know - you can only put images onto the hdd if you are going to multi-boot. You put first image onto flash (as normal) the others go onto the hdd and then you can switch the image.
BarryAllen or meoboot (DreamElite image) are what you need to do that.
Have said previously - can't see the point. Choose an image and learn to use it.
thats the idea so by putting image on hdd i can find the 1 i like. i always used nab 6.1 maxvar image on my 500s because i lked it and never got on with others that is why i want an image that i will stick with.just not sure how to put it on hdd thanks.
Just ftp the image you want to install to your HDD not in a folder then like oldfart said use either barry allen or meo boot to install.
