I tried to do this with HDD Raw Copy, on a SanDisk Extreme Pro 128Gb 160MB/s UDMA7 (black) CF card, in the Syba CF caddy.

No joy, Nav won't start "Function not available".

Is it my CF card that causes the problem?

The CF card is in the slave side, as everyone else has done..

.Boot folder from hdcddb missing

I have a similar problem to some where I've followed the instructions but navigation and media are unavailable.

After mounting partitions on the Syba /CF in QNX I've found the .boot folder to be missing from the CDDB folder. CIC detects the Syba / CF but after trying to load for a while it just gives up, greys out navigation and media is left in a permanent state of limbo searching for files.

I have tried using sudo DD command in ubuntu and also HDD RAW program in Windows 11 to make an image of the original drive which has been put on the Syba / CF to no avail.

I'm going to try clonezilla and see if anything changes.
thanks for all the help everyone.

UPDATE: I'm a tard and the .boot folders were hidden in QNX file manager.
MD5 of clonezilla, linux DD & HDD RAW all have the same MD5 so that's good I guess.

I have a feeling the poor quality of the SYBA adapter is at fault here. The pins are too short, the pcb is wonky & the CIC HDD cover wont go all the way in easily when installed etc. Will update when the new one arrives from china.

So what's the verdict - if I don't use CIC navigation and don't store music on its hard drive, does swapping the original HDD with an SSD result in some notable improvements like a lot quicker and more responsive iDrive?
