OK I am confussed! Using Hard drive with WinUAE

[blobrana]

Strange.
500 is quite small, small enough to copy the entire HD to the winUAE drawer?...

boot from a WINUAE floppy and see what has been copied to the drawer.

What file system is on the amiga HD?
Is it the latest version 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.

[blobrana]

Oh. Then the PC cannot read the file format of the Amiga HD!

Have you acess to a real amiga, to plug  the HD in?
Are you sure there is amiga data on the HD? (Hehe)

There is a file systm called Fat95, on aminet, that you may want to read up on...it allows the reading of PC/AMIGA data off HDs.

It sounds like you may have to port the data via floppies (and crossdos). I would also see if using another older version (8.22 revision 3)of WinUAe works.
There was a good guide to Winuae posted here.

And as a last resort check you settings on Winuae, the uaescsi.device  sould be checked etc. Although it should be setup already.

I`m out of ideas...
