Hello
PLEASE
I want to write back a chd to HDD
I use latest working chdman (145u8)
I type chdman extracthd -i d:\gamecstl.chd -o \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1
it says:
Error: file already exist <\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1>
Use --force (or -f) to force overwriting
Of course there's no such file on d:
What is wrong then?
Thank You

Put the chd file in the same directory as chdman and type:
chdman -extract gamecstl.chd \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1

CHDMAN told you *exactly* what you need to do: use --force or -f  Because the HDD exists, it counts as "already existing" even though it's not a file. (This is also a good opportunity to triple-check that PHYSICALDRIVE1 isn't your C:\ drive ;-)

Thank for the answer Richard but it still doesn't work
it says not enough space but the HDD is 40gb. gamecstl is 20gb
I think it's because it's a USB external drive...
