HDs in E-UAE/Winuae

[Thomas]

Option 2 comes closest to what is used on a real Amiga. Option 1 is similar compatibility-wise but less flexible. Option 3 is easiest to use but less compatible.

That said, if you don't encounter problems with option 3, it is ok to use it.

You need at least one option 3 drive if you want to exchange data between the host and the client OS.

You need to create partitions first. You cannot format harddrives, only partitions can be formatted. As I said above this is what comes closest to a real harddrive.

Try

hdtoolbox uaehf.device

without "DEVICE" in the middle.

I am not sure whether E-UAE supports HDFs in RDB mode, though.
