Sincerely I didn't understand the ratio and the way the glob command would help me.
I tried, with no results...
My fault I know.
Anyway, I'd simply want to import all files, DIR and SUBDIR contained in the e: partition of my PC.
Could someone provide me the right sequence of commands I must use on openMSX console?
My target is to import all files, DIR and SUBDIR on my E: partition into the 4GB nextor fat16 image ZEMHDD.DSK
Does exist a tootl for windows that can help me with this?
H-E-L-P !
If you put it all in a single folder and import that folder, does it work as you expect?
I did this
I create a subfolder in OpenMSX directory called ZEMMIXSD
I inserted my zemmix Sd on drive E:
I copied all files to ZEMMIXSD subfolder
I tried with
diskmanipulator import hda /ZemmixSd
It said
"Non-exixting File /ZemmixSd"
Why the /? That specifies the root folder on the current drive...
Because the manual to import a folder says, as example
diskmanipulator import hda /tmp/topart
where topart is a subdir ..... And without a full Path i assume that tmp Is a folder under Openmsx dir...
isn't so?
No /tmp/ is a standard folder in the root directory of a Linux/Unix machine, which gets wiped every reboot. (Temp.)
You must just fully specify the path, or the path relative to where openMSX started up. Just using / means it's from the root folder and on Windows that means the root folder of the current drive.

Thanks Manuel,
diskmanipulator works, thanks !!!
Maybe it could be useful to have more clear in the manual the differences about path when using Windows instead of Linux.
Anyway, Now the target is to use the brandnew 4GB Fat16 zemhdd.dsk drive image in OpenMSX.
Using a FSA1GT and ext SunriseIDE_Nextor it starts in basic.
It could be nice to browse the contents of the image to see how it is organized.
Maybe could be useful to start in MSXDOS from an other media (floppy image?) to let OpenMSX access the virtual hdd drive.
I'll try
Well, just make sure the root folder on the HDD image contains the boot files for MSX DOS 2 or Nextor.
