So my title says it call. My goal is to create a Amiga IDE drive that will boot so that I can revive a A4000.

I have installed WinUAE on a old computer I keep around to receive faxes from people who still insist on that. The computer has Windows XP and two IDE drives. I'm trying to turn the empty but Windows formatted drive into an Amiga drive. The drive is 40GB.

I've downloaded a set of Workbench 3.1 disks. I have downloaded three different ROMS (2 versions of 3.1 and one of 3.0)

I have it to the point where I can boot with the Install disk but HDToolBox does not find the HD.

HDSetup when I try to Partition 0 it can't find the drive

To add the HD I am using Add Harddrive, selecting IDE (auto) 0.

I am starting WinUAE from CMD with the -disablehardrivesafetycheck

What am I doing wrong?


Also my A4000 is an 060. If I choose 060 in WinUAE I get a red error box so I was hoping to do this with the 040 settings and then move it to the physical machine and hope it works -- is this likely?

The whole reason I need to do it this way is that the A4000 has a Cybervision 64/3D so I also need to have the drivers for that on this harddrive before transplanting it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
