![]() One other potentially important detail: I am blind, so use a screen reader for all computer tasks. It looks like both VMWare and VirtualBox can run a QNX virtual machine. I hope someone has some ideas any help is certainly welcome! There are companies making applications to convert file systems and such, but the only thing that seemed promising was designed to run on QNX and not Windows… I had also found a program called Linux Reader which appears to be able to load and read (but not write) QNX drives in its paid version, but when I contacted the company to confirm I received no response the free version just gives an error when trying to open the drive though it will make a disk image of it.īTW, in addition to a backup disk image I also have another untouched SSD which the keyboard manufacturer sent me, so I am quite comfortable experimenting as there are several copies of the original data here if something goes wrong… I’ve searched all over the internet and found very little. If one or both of these applications do not exist, is there perhaps someone I can contact who might provide this service, if I sent them the SSD and the files I wanted to replace, with instructions of where they need to go once I know the folder structure?.If so, is there also a way to copy files formatted on Windows (NTFS) over to this SSD while converting them to the correct file system so that they work as expected?.Is there any piece of software I can try running on Windows that will let me, at the very minimum, easily view the folder names on this QNX-formatted SSD, even if it’s just read-only?.It may be possible, if I can at least view the folder / file structure of the SSD, to replace the samples from the instrument itself. I’m not really interested in retrieving the original audio data, just want to overwrite it! Obviously, I’ve not done anything like this to the SSD itself, just the backup image I made. If reformatting this disk to NTFS, I can recover the entire original audio sample pool, however the original file names and directory structure is discarded, which is unfortunate as I need to see the folder structure of the drive as it appears normally. ![]() I created a backup copy of the disk image and mounted that on Windows using some software to take a look at the existing content. The SSD has 2 partitions, one with the QNX OS itself (I assume? it’s around 200 MB) and the other is where the audio goes, which is partitioned at around 223GB. ![]() Naturally just plugging the drive into my Windows machine (the only OS I use!) doesn’t work, as the drive is formatted for use with QNX and must stay that way for use with the synthesizer. However, in order to make full use of the drive and all its space, I am wanting to remove the audio content that is already there and replace it. The drive is used by a piece of hardware (musical instrument,) as its sound library, and there is software on Windows which I can (and have) used to set up replacement instrument audio sample files and corresponding metadata which the instrument needs in order to play the samples as designed. I have an SSD formatted in a QNX6 file system (believe it’s called power safe.) This SSD contains a lot of audio files and some other content which I would like to replace. Apologies for the potentially long post, but hopefully there is a solution for what I am trying to do. Let me start by saying I am not a QNX user and no essentially nothing about this OS.
