I just grabbed an old Quantum LP40S SCSI hard disk (that I once used on my Amiga) and attached it to the SCSI card in my WinXP machine to try out with WinUAE.

It came up fine in XP, but (since I guessed it was still formatted Amiga FFS and I wanted to do a completely fresh Workbench install on it) needed to be partitioned and formatted. So I used the XP disk management util to partition and format it NTFS. I assigned it the drive letter "Z:" and disk label "40MB SCSI" and all worked fine in XP (could copy files, etc).
Why did you do that?

Wouldn't it be smarter to use the HDD in the XP system itself? It surely is faster.
