Hi, all!
Is someone out there who has experiences with
WinUAE 0.8.25 using SFS (1.214)? I'm trying to
migrate my whole system from A4000 to a Windows2000
machine. There are two important partitions on
the harddrive I'm using: One with AmigaOS3.9 on
it, and the other with applications and data. The
latter is SFS formatted and has many files with
long filenames on it, so I don't want to change
it back to FFS type. I was told that it IS possible
to use SFS with WinUAE, but whenever my system
boots up under WinUAE, an error requester pops
up saying "Not a dos disk in device HD2". This
is coming at the point when some assigns in
s:startup-sequence are pointing at the requested
partition (HD2). It seems that setpatch doesn't
insert HD2?!? How can I make sure that to be done?
TIA,
Scholle
SetPatch ? This has nothing to do with it. Make sure that SmartFileSystem is installed in the RDB (in the Add/Update section of HDToolbox).
There is not a single situation when SFS is needed in L or Devs or wherever once it is installed in the RDB of one of your HDDs.
If the HDD is larger than 4GB, make sure to use the lastest WinUAE version. >4GB suppport was added sometimes, so not all versions of WinUAE support it.
If you cannot figure it out, please run the CheckHD program out of the
Check4GB archive and post the results here.
Bye,
Thomas
