Read an Amiga Hard Drive on my PC

[jrkenn]

I seem to remember reading how to hook up an amiga hard drive to my PC and reading the drive through one of the emulators. Is this possible? My Amiga has crashed and I need to read the contents of the hard drive.

I need to somehow make a bootup disk also.

Thanks for any help, I am sort of confused on some of this but some things are coming back to me from years ago.

Ok Great. I do have winUAE and Amiga Forever. I also have the latest version of WinUAE but how do you get the drive to show up in WinUAE because windows does not see the drive?

Thanks for all the help but it looks like the HD is Fubar.
I did get it hooked up to the pc but it keeps shutting on & off so I believe its time to dig out and old HD and reformat.
I dont have wb exept on adf files, no hard copy. I may just get a newer copy of OS and go with that. I already have the toaster on cd. If I can get my adf files converted to some floppys then I will go with that but without the toaster actually running i think I might be better to just get a new fresh copy and go with that. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thx,
Rick

I will let you know how it comes out

Will the onboard ide on a 4000 read a 4gig hd? I have a 1 gig I can use but would rather use the 4gig if possible.

I just got the adf files converted onto my pc. I opened them up in emulation and then copied them over into separate foldes to represent each floppy.

If I put them on a cd would it be possible to boot my 4000 from a cd or load the OS from the files on the cd?

Finally got my HD formatted. I used another Amiga HD that was in the Amiga and loaded WB 3.1 on there from WinUAE and stuck her in the 4000 and wala!! She booted right up.Only problem now is that the DAMN mouse quit working. I tell you, 5 years of this thing sitting is just too much dead time. It will take forever to get all these bugs workrd out.
