Well, that's annoying... (AFS disk images)

Copy the AmiFileSafe to your PC HDD, then go to WinUAE's "Add Hardfile" dialogue and enter the path to AmiFileSafe into the FileSystem box.

Another possibility is to connect the Amiga HDD to the PC and use WinUAE to read it. It will detect the HDD in the "Add Harddrive" dialogue and should be able to handle the AFS partitions. This would be *much* faster than the serial connection.

I seem to remember back in the mists of time something called Fat95 on Aminet which allowed access to PC-style disks - including FAT12/16/32 hard disks.  I might have to dig that out...

Blimey, this will involve using HDToolbox again, which is a slightly scary prospect after all these years!  Back in 1993, I wrote the HD Installer script for First Computers which I was quite proud of... Now?  I can't remember a thing!

No, you should not use HDToolbox on the drive if you want to read it in the PC later. Partition and format it in your PC, then connect it to the Amiga and follow Fat95's manual to mount the drive. Make sure not to use NTFS as Fat95 can only read FAT partitions.

IIRC, the IDE device driver for the 4000 is "scsi.device", isn't it?

Yes, it is. But you need a CD writing software anyway and the ones I know will search any device and present you a list of connected writers.

Most popular writing softwares are MakeCD and BurnIt.
