Setup real amiga disk using winuae
« on: April 16, 2009, 02:15:34 PM »
Hello to all

I have a 80gb (pc formatted) Harddrive that I want to use on an existing Amiga A1200.

This HDD is connected to my pc on IDE secondary master port .

however: I want be able to do the following -

From WinUAE i want to be able to format that device as though its a native amiga hard drive.

Essentially:

I want to be able to mount this drive in UAE (Windows) for formatting using workbench 3.1 via the emulator .

The idea is to use the emulator to setup the hard-disk environment i.e. install workbench,apz etc and then put in a working amiga.

In the Winuae I can select the drive i added to install the amiga os .

After that i start the workbench 3.1 and try to format this disk but the disk is not see by the workbench .

I tried the hdsetup option or hdtoolbox but no way to have the disk recognized by the workbench .

Do anyone know what to do to let me format this disk and install the workbench using winuae ?

Thank you
