Setting up cf hard drive in windows for a1200?
« on: February 20, 2010, 06:03:24 AM »
Can someone please tell me, can I setup an os3.x setup from winuae/amiga forever files onto a compact flash card for booting on an a1200?

If so is there any how to guides online or are there some tricks to doing this well? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have a cf card, adapter for a1200 but no wb floppies, no cd-rom or other way to directly install this on the a1200.
 
I was hoping I could use winuae with the cf card connected to the pc to create a cf bootable hard drive with os3.x for the a1200.
 
Thanks for everyones thoughts or ideas on doing something like this...
 
Steven

Wow I'm thankful you took the time to post that but a bit discouraged. That seems alot more complicated than I'd hoped.
 
I thought it would be alot simpler. I thought I could just add the disk to winuae, format it with hdtools then reboot winuae from wb3.x floppies images and install to the cf card.
 
If I am trying to do this with an ide hard drive, is the process the same or any simpler?
 
Thanks for your thoughts,
