In windows 7, I can read the files and folders fine with MacDrive. I can see all my files. But when I access the drive in sheepshaver, only about half the files/folders are showing. Some folders only show a couple of files while there should be more then 100+ files in that folder.

If you have less than 3,000 files per folder, does the problem go away? I seem to recall issues with large numbers of files in a single folder under some versions of Mac OS.

I wasn't aware SheepShaver could work that way.
Would it be an option to create a very large disk image on the drive, and then store the files in the disk image? Then you wouldn't have to split everything up.

I'm using Max OS X (10.13) to create a disk image of a folder that is on a HFS+ USB stick. It creates a DMG file. When trying to access it in sheepshaver, sheepshaver always wants to initialise and wipe the DMG file.

I meant copying within macOS 10.13. (The name of the OS changed from Mac OS X to OSX to macOS. Mac OS (with capital M and without X) is the classic OS, macOS is the name since 10.12)flood wrote:I will try making the empty image. But getting the files onto the image will be a problem if i only want to use sheepshaver, because sheepshaver is not reading the hfs+ correctly , so i will not be able to do the copying there.
Strange, if this is all done within macOS 10.13, the harddrive mounted in macOS, the USB stick mounted in macOS, and then copying the files within macOS directly from the HD to the USB stick, I cannot imagine how the files would loose their resource forks if both HD and USB stick are indeed HFS+ formatted. The same for copying from the HD to a disk image within macOS 10.3.I'm also running max os x (10.13) in virtualbox. It can read the hfs+ usb harddrive without problems (and it doesn't need macdrive to do that). The only problem i have with this setup is that when i copy macdraw files from the hfs+ harddrive to something else (like a hfs+ usb stick), it loses the fork files.
That is a lot. I never tried to use images larger than 20GB. I do not know what the size limit is. There may also be a limit to the number of files. Some reported using images 60GB or larger. But 500GB?One question. How big can the image be so that sheepshaver still can read it correctly? The amount of data that i have is around 400-500gb. It would be great if i could fit it all into one image.
