Cannot prepare Amiga HD with WinUAE

[lopos]

It does work. Done it myself.
Have a look here Linky and follow the instructions.

Great, thanks for the link, lopos! If I understand that correctly, E-UAE is also capable of natively using Amiga hard disks? That would be even better because I wouldn't have to use that crappy Windows...  :-P

You are welcome. I only use WinUAE so I can't say if it's working with E-UAE.

@Colani1200
I tried it again this morning with AmiKit and it's working fine. No problem at all.

Luckily, I have a ps/2 -> AT keyboard adapter handy, thanks for the tip!

Did XP or WinUAE not reconized your USB drive?

It's formatted with FFS and has 2 partitions.
When I checked the device manager with both USB's plugged in, it showed up there but no drive letter was assigned in Windows.  I had to unplug one of them (the second being for extra power) so I don't know if Windows lost it.

WinXP should not assign any drive letters to the Amiga hard disk. You can only see the Amiga partition in WinUAE or in an Amiga itself.
