I've got a working Desktop A4000/040 that the original 120Mb IDE drive has failed on. Sadly, the 3.5" floppy drive has also gone the way of the dodo. So, I'm left with an interesting problem - how to install a replacement hard disk?
I thought of a possible way, but wanted to find out if anyone had done it and if it might work...
I have my working Windows box, as well as ADFs of my workbench (3.0) disks. Would it work if I was to install a hard disk in the windows box, setup WinUAE to see it, boot WinUAE from my Install 3.0 ADF, run HDToolBox and then install Workbench onto the hard drive, then put the hard drive in the A4K and boot it from that?
Or should someone tell me I'm dreaming?
