Title: amiga hd + PC
Post by: portarinos on September 20, 2007, 11:06:06 PM

Hi there.
I would be grateful if someone would kindly provide me/us with a step by step guide on how i/we could format an amiga 2,5" HD and install OS3.9 on it through WINUAE. I need the exact steps to be made so as to have a trouble free installation and use my miggy properly

 Hardware requirements:

 - IDE 2.5" HD (do'h!);
 - 3.5" > 2.5" adaptor;
 - A free (not used) IDE slot;
 - A CD-ROM (you could use a DVD driver for this, too);
 - Amiga OS 3.9 on CD.

 Software:
 - WinUAE;
 - M$ Windoz (do'h);
 - A ROM image somewhere in the M$ Win HD.

 Start the emulation (after installing the HD into the peecee...) by a DOS window typing (on the WinUAE directory)
"winaue -disableharddriveasfetycheck" (no quotes...)

 On the configuration screen, select the exact HD model (on IDE drives folder, IIRC) and tick it "bootable".

 Tick on "Windows drivers on emulation" (or something like this).

 Starts the emulation with the OS3.9 CD on the drive (marked  as bootable too).

 Install the Workbench, turn off the peecee and put the HD back on the Miggy.

 Simple like that. :-D
