UAE&Amiga Drives again

[a3000]

WinUAE-Amiga HDrives. I'm running XP with A/Forever.Can we start with the basics. Who sees who with a amiga hdrive. The PC side or winuae? In other posts advice is "disable harddrives safetycheck" where? On the PC or UAE?

I have Maxtor drives taken off a 1200, that I,m trying to connect to the PC. The connection is via the USB port the drives in a xternal case. When add harddrive is clicked there is a long pause then "no amiga hard drive connected or blank drive"
Help

Hi Ive have added the disable the harddrivesafety check command. It works intermitently. It keeps commng up with "no amiga drive or famated drive connected" this is after I  take a bootable hard drive off a 1200 & plug it in via the USB connection. One time it saw the drive but couldn't acess the data. Any suggestions. :-?

Thanks for tha advice the c f hard drive card is this the same as the PCMIA card that plugs into the 1200 side? or is it a 2.5"hard drive?

I have tried to look for the HDrive via the emulated amiga but its not visible. When ou say use uaescsi.device I presume u are meaning from the drop down screen in the configuration & harddrive screen seen on the Menu Box.

Thanks. I have had a look at the page selling CF cards. We have already pulled the 2.5" drives out of the 1200 & fitted a adpter to a long external ribbon cable where we fit 2 3.5" Hdrives. These are powered with PC power supplies. Do you think we could just get a IDE to CF card adapter & plug it in? Removing one Hard drive? Sounds to simple or is it?
