Setup CF card with Winuae help

[tasmanian guy]

Hi All
 
I have a 64Mb CF Card,
 
Can I setup the Card on my PC first with Winuae? then put it in to my Amiga 1200 and will it boot.
 
I have Winuae v2.0,
 
Is there any GOOD Guide to show you how to do it,
 
thank all
 
:confused:

Yes you can.
 
You have to make sure you add the hard drive, set it to drive ide0, enable read and write and boot up from Workbench install disk file which if I remember correctly is install.adf.
 
Create your first partition to be 4 gigabytes or less.  Format it and then run the install.
 
To change the disks you press F12 key. (remember to reboot when prompted to as well).
 
I did this for my 1U Amiga 1200 and works great!

Hi there
 
In Winuae Add H/D
 
[OS] [62.6m,RW] Generic USB CF Reader 1.01
 
Set to IDE0
 
Read/Write is graded out
 
:confused:

Sorry I forgot about the -disable switch for winuae, see the other guy's post.
 
I didnt have to modify the hdtool box, as I used the ide0 option not the winuae option as hard drive type.

You do not have to name the CF card.
 
So when you run the hdtoolbox you can see no device come up?

[tasmanian guy]

device come up YES and i set it up
 
but i can not format CF if say not a DOS disk??

Are you formatting it under WINUAE in Workbench, I hope you're not doing a low level format.

No worries, enjoy!  I'm looking forward to my Amiga 1200 1U rack to be up and running (please let all the parts come this week!).
