Re: Using real Amiga HD with WinUAE

I asked in another thread how I could have WinUAE recognize a new hard drive so I could partition and format it with an Amiga file system and use it exclusively for Amiga emulation.

I still have not figured out how to do it, but have progressed to assinging a volume letter and quick formatting the drive with NTFS, so WinUAE can see the drive.  I am also having trouble with my SUSE Linux 9.3 Professional DVD, as it locks up when I try to run the install and gives me the error message that the DVD can't be found, eventhough I have booted off it and started the install program from the DVD.

I was hoping that the SUSE DVD would have a formatting and partitioning program I could run at the beginning of the install process, where I could partition most of the new drive for Linux use and 4 or 5 2gb partitions reserved for Amiga use.

Anyone with experience about setting up such a hard drive the way I want to use it, please let me know here or PM me.
