Easiest way is to define some dirs from Windows as your HD's

Launch WinUAE, go to [hard drives] and select [add Directory.. Fill in a Volume label and select the path of where you want "drive" to exists.. No need to fill in the [device name], WinUAE will this for ya..

 Same for a hardfile, only this ones creates a "big" file that is used only for WinUAE. The dir. option lets you copy files to and from Windows/A-OS with ease..

Last option, prepare a drive in a real Amiga, and stick it in your PC and select [add Hardrive].. It should appear in the selection box there...

BTW, Nice picture..

Well, if you insert the install disk before running the emulator (like alx sais) it should boot from that.. Offcourse, don't set the bootpri of the HD higher then that of the floppies..

If you don't have an ADF of the install disk, go to http://www.back2roots.org/Tools/Emu/Emu-Tools/ and see which of the "Windows ADF read/write tools" (TM) you like and copy the contents of the workbench disk to your workbench dir.. or boot from the workbench disk and copy the files from df0: to hd0:, both should work..

(Edit; forgot you could copy files "in use" unlike a certain other OS..)

Oh.. And you lucky bugger  you ;-)

although I got lines running through my screen and the workbench is nowhere near full size on a full screen window. Anybody know why that is? Grrrrr!

In the display tab, by line mode, choose Scanline.. Erm.. I think...

Sorry, but don't have an ADF of Extra's at hand.. Must be somewhere tho..

Well.. I loaded the wrong config.. Try Doubled, that's how I have it at the moment.. Mind, I do use the RTG option for WinUAE, so it may be different if you only use AGA or such..
