My old 4000 SCSI hard drive is dead and I am trying to get a CF card formatted to replace it. I have both WinUAE and Forever Amiga (paid version) and do you reckon I can get this running. No damn way. I have tried numerous tutorials and always I end up failing. I have a new 4gb CF card and I keep getting all sorts of error messages ranging from write protected drives to god knows what. I have a full set of .adf files for 3.1 and roms, it just seems whatever I do just fails. Any help on this much appreciated, it is really doing my head in......attached is one of the messages.

The HD setup program wants to write the drive definitions to a file on your install 'disk'. So you have to untick an option for that emulated floppy drive to not be write protected.

not sure if you read this guide : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=61666

The emulated floppy is definitely not write protected, this is why I am getting so damn frustrated. :o
-
Now it gets worse, the card cannot be recognised at all by Win UAE, I have done the clean on it through the cmd and whilst it shows up using the command show disk, that is all that happens, when I try to add a hard disk to WinUAE it is not showing up at all. Not sure what to do now, as it was showing up yesterday..

Try running WINUAE as an administrator.

Thanks mate, always run this as an administrator.. ::)

After clean enter create part primary and delete part. Then eject the card and re-insert it into the reader.

Ok whilst still in the cmd area I enter delete, is that correct??
-
all inside diskpart
diskpart
list disk
select disk 6
list disk
clean
create part primary
delete part
exit
