A508IDE and preparing for it.. :-)

Yes, and it's more convenient too than setting up on a real Amiga.
This thread will I'm sure be of help to you:

You should be able to use either of those drives you have. KS2/WB2 is what I use on my A600 with a 40GB Hitachi HDD, so larger than 8GB is fine as long as you use the updated scsi.device.

Then again, 4GB is overkill for most people, so perhaps to keep things ultra simple just go with the 4GB.

I went thru that thread but have issues.

Did the diskpart, clear etc..  Set the device to uaehf.device and in WinUAE I have it set to "UAE" for the hard drive.  When I go to hdtoolbox I see the interface as scsi, but my only valid option is Change Drive Type and thats it.  I cannot partition it in HDToolbox.  The Drive status is "UNKNOWN"

Try using a different device. Try scsi.device. I think there is another device name you can try too but I can't remember.
Have you selected the 'get information from drive' or similar button? (HDToolbox)
In the WinUAE settings, I believe one of the config setting switches enables you to enable removable drives (to show up on the Amiga side) - Is this selected?
