Setting Up Hard Drives
« on: June 30, 2006, 05:03:21 PM »
Greetings:

I am not sure if this should be here or in the emulation forums or hardware, but here seemed to be the place to ask the question, so please forgive me if it is in the wrong forum :-)

I am relatively new at setting up an Amiga system from scratch and I need to figure out how a hard drive is setup both in a real machine and in my WinUAE emulator.

I understand the formatting the disk from the workbench screen and I have made a hardfile (which I am going to delete and remake) in the WinUAE emulator.   What I want to acomplish is making the System and Work partitions -- The emulator is being setup with a 2 GB hardfile.

I have setup my system with just one partition because I did not know how to get the work and the system partitions :-)
 

Would someone please be so kind as to run step-by-step (as if I know nothing) through the process of setting up a new hard disk and what sizes the Work Partition and System partition, etc should be?

Appreciate the help on this one!

Thanks,

Still would like to know how you do this on a real A1200 for instance as well.  Figured out I can add another hardfile under WinUAE.

Thanks,

Mike
