SSD for A1200

Easiest way to initialize a hardware drive is:
- Either your Amiga or...
- Mounting the new HD on your PC via WinUAE and initializing from there.

If you have a backup copy there, you can restore it easily from there as well, and then transfer the HD on your real Amiga.

If you don't have a backup, it's just fine but it also needs 2 more steps:

1. Mount your current HD to WinUAE, and take a backup of your partitions by using:

Code: [Select]

1> dh0:
1> lha a -aezrx windh_c:dh0_backup.lha #?
That will create an lha archive named dh0_backup.lha of the partition DH0: inside your PC's C: drive (be sure to enable "Add PC drives at Startup" in Hard Drives tab)
You can repeat the same procedure for all your other partitions

2. Mount your new HD to WinUAE, initialize it and format it (if it's not already) and then:

Code: [Select]

1> dh0:
1> lha x windh_c:dh0_backup.lha
That will restore everything the backup has (from your PC's C: drive) into your newly setup DH0: partition (be sure to enable "Add PC drives at Startup" in Hard Drives tab again).
Repeat for all the other partitions and you're set
