OK I am confussed! Using Hard drive with WinUAE

[jumpship]

I want to add my Amiga hard drive to use in WinUAE. I need some help! I have taken it from my A1200 and put it in as a Primary Slave drive, yet windows sees it and has put it in as the E: drive. Also there is some stuff on it that I have never seen before! And WinUAE refuses to see any Amiga partitions.

It is a QUANTUM Maverick 500Mb. Old but works fine with my miggy.

Any help is greatfully recived!

I am using FFS on the HDD. The hard drive was taken out of an old computer that wasn't needed anymore (a DOS baseed PC). I partitioned it into two partitions (Workbench @ 150Meg and Work 350Meg), but now that I add it to the PC Win2k is picking up what must be the old DOS partition, something I would have thought would have been deleted once I had setup the Amiga partitions.

I am doing it really more for an experiment more then anything else, but I didn't expect to fall at the first hurdle!! :lol:

I am using R4 of WinUAE

Ok , boot up you windows2k and copy (by hand) the contents of the 500Mb HD...(rEmember all the .info files and make sure (now) that their properties are not set to read only)...

ok, BOOT Winuae... simple.

Now you can format the 500Mb drive through the Amiga, and copy back all that Data ( why?)
This Will/DOES work! Hehe.

That is the problem, all i can see is the old MS-DOS files, I can't see any of my Amiga stuff :-(

Ahhhh that clears it all up, thankyou! Nothing important on the drive, like I say I was just interested in the useage of it. Might see if I can delete the DOS partition. Or maybe wait and see if the next version of WinUAE works like you say before taking the chance!
