Setting Up UAE (winUAE)

[irishmike]

Hello All:

I am setting up WinUAE and have been reading the online documentation, however, I am having trouble making a configuration of my own.

I need to:

1) Copy the ROM image file into the proper place
2) Setup a Hard Drive File (I think they call it a hardfile)
3) Install WB 3.1 to the new hardfile

I have found out I can load the ROM file and ADF of the WB 3.1 disk and it works, but of course the configuration is not saved.

Also, I have never setup an Amiga Hard Drive and could use help doing that as well.

If anyone here has had experience setting up UAE or WinUAE from scratch, help is appreciated!

At the very least, I need a step by step making the Hard Drive.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the help!  This will help me save the config... I was going through the Tabs in WinUAE and just never saved the config.

Now my kind of part 2 of the question was actually the process of setting up a hard drive (yes in UAE it will be the hardfile) but eventually I will be on my A1200 and need this knowledge.

On the PC you'd partition, format, then install your OS... what is the process on the Amiga?

Thanks,
