How do I get Amiga filesystem recognized by Windows?

[Louis Dias]

I have a 2.5" drive (with 2 partitions) with my 3.1 OS installed, but I want to use WinUAE to repartition it and reformat it as a one partition and re-install the OS or atleast run DiskSalv to get rid of my checksum error.

I have a 2.5" external USB enclosure.  Can I get WinUAE to recognize it.  Windows lists the drive in the DEVICE MANAGER but it doesn't give it a drive letter, so I have no access to it.

This drive is from my CD32/SX-1 system.

for some reason, it doesn't work
the drive is in the device manager but no drive letter in Explorer and I start WINUAE with the harddrivesafteycheckoff and it only lists my other 2 hard drives

there's no Amiga Filesystem driver for Windows.

Which is amazing 16 years after FFS was developed...

Maybe you can try a 3,5" -> 2,5" IDE adaptor instead, they're pretty cheap on ebay. It's just a guess that this will work, I haven't tried myself (yet).

Good advice, thanks!

done!

Actually, back in the day, I had an external enclosure that did the opposite and I had a second HD but 3.5" attached to my CD32+SX-1.
