Need help - want to boot my amiga HD on PC with WinUAE

[dredger]

Voilà !
It worked, it's ok i have all and it's running like before

BTW, what happens if you click on "read configuration" ? Which values does it use then ?

In HDToolBox when I use the Read Configuration i obtain the following :
Cylinders: 1647
Heads : 16
BperTrack: 63
Block per Cylinder: 1008

If they write blocks per cylinder they mean blocks per cylinder. Why do you always believe the software is wrong ? Is this what Windows does to people ?

Im well placed about softwares, i should normally be a developper, but not anymore (please dont blame havent touched development since 13y) - and as the first hdtoolbox you made me download was bugged as you said, im just doubtfull.
 Im not used with HD, partioning and filesystems, i recognize it, but i like to learn about things and ask people who know about

At this point, I have to thank you greatly.  I thought my HD was totally lost

Im wondering if i'll try to put it on my PC.  I haven't tried again to plug it and try to make UAE run it.
 I'll maybe post another thread for this, or maybe there's a simple answer ?

Well, thanks a lot

BTW, a little question : is there any future plans for a possibility to see back a new amiga ? a new OS ?
My opinion would be to choose a standard harware, like a console game, and stick on it with minor changes.  but is there still any company behind ?  I doubt, after 10y it's over, no ?

Cheers, and, again, thanks Thomas !

No no im not blink
It's just that i followed amiga news during 3 to 4 years, gradually loosing interest.
The WB 4.0, if i well remember, was alreday talked about in 1995, or 96, so after 10 years & a busy life, I didnt care anymore about.  And now in 2005 it should at least arrive.

I searched a little bit right now.  So if I well read, 2 main standard hardware components will be a PPC cpu and ati GFX card.  And it's a specific motherboard apparently.  I thought, before reading news about, that I could have ran it on my standard PC harware (here i have AMD cpu and nvidia type gfx card)

btw, about the HD, it's not my pc who "killed" him, it's when using hdtoolbox, after having clicked on "read drive parameters" then click on save ...  I figured out that reading the drive parameters = read the current used drive parameters, not the, apparently, defaults ones as it was the case

I have saved anyway some amiga url and I'll check around regularly.  but if I need to buy a new machine to make run OS 4.0, it's a bit too much.  My first opinion here is that i well want to buy the OS and test/use it, but new hardware ... dunno

Cheers
