Hi all,

I just upgraded from an very old version of WinUAE to WinUAE 1.2.0, however, I don't get the hard drives working.
In Settings -> Hardware -> Hard drives, I select "Add Directory".
I save the configuration.

- Reloading the configuration, the hard drive is lost.

- Adding a directory as hard drive dh0: and instantly booting from floppy leads to the Message "Please insert volume dh0 in any drive".

- Booting from the hard drive is not possible at all.

Any ideas? - I'm running WinUAE on a laptop with WinXP SP2.

Many thanks ...

User fault: I entered the device name with trailing colon.
Without the colon now everything seems to work fine!

Sorry for the confusion ...
