oooohhhh, why cant this be straight forward, LOL,
right i would like to thank all of you for the help you have given to me, and your patiance,
its just a shame that the amiga hasnt kept up to date with software , if they had a lot more people might have stayd with it, but i will battle on and see what i can get out of this old thing.
many thanks to you all.

im getting sorted now, my hard drive is an 80 gig 3.5 external connected to my dvd rom drive,
ive got most problems sorted out last night,
installed some softwware that makes the os3.1 look loads better allthough it is still the very basic thing,
my hardrive is partitiond into 4 parts and seems to be working ok, like i said very fast to boot.
there are two things ive noticed, no facility to write cds and no media player, ??????

oohhh will this item work on it,

why do i need a cf card, i have a 3.5 pc hdd on the amiga 80 gig.
it is external all i have to do is unplug it and it will fit into my ps, but the problem is that my pc is all sata connecters the only ide is on the dvd writer,
but the amiga hard drive is just a standard pc 3.5 drive.
so i have to get the software that will transfer the unzipped files, but when i unzip the files the pc dont recognise them they are adf files.
this is getting a bit silly now aint it,
LOL
what is the software i need to get ????

WinUAE has the option of mounting and preparing a real hard drive for use on an Amiga! This option is only available in Win2k-XP.
