I will be installing OS3.9 onto my A1200 in the next week or so, when my accelerator card arrives. I have a 6gb ide drive, and a 30gb ide drive.
In the meantime I want to prep the harddrive that will be going into the real amiga by attaching it to my pc, and hopefully partitioning it to suit, as well as copying over the relevant files from the OS3.9 cd and all the whdload games I have.
The trouble is, even with a blank unpartitioned harddrive - the 6gb, winuae under XP refuses to see a blank harddrive when I try to 'add harddrive', I get a 'no blank harddrives or RDB partitioned'
If I partition the 30gb (under the 4gb limit) with my real amiga and wb3.1, winuae refuses to see that drive or partitions either.
Any advice?
Would I be better off resurrecting an old win98 computer and running winuae on that to allow direct hardware access?
Thanks,
Cathal
