Setting up cf hard drive in windows for a1200?

[Gulliver]

 
I was hoping I could use winuae with the cf card connected to the pc to create a cf bootable hard drive with os3.x for the a1200.

Yes you can do it! It is a bit tricky though once you learn the method, you will be able to repeat that without any fuss.

I will search a guide for you....

it is not so hard!
You simply:  
1-plug your drive to your PC
2-Run WinUAE with the -disableharddrivesafetycheck command line option
3-Add the drive to WinUAE (Add Harddrive)
4-Boot your WinUAE with the workbench installation floppy and continue from there.
5-Remember to set the correct parameters in HDtoolbox for partitioning your drive (as mentioned in the guide)

But then if you are using a drive bigger than 4GB you need a patch (the guide explains how to do this).

That is basicly all there is to it.
