The above link may help. I think there's an option in WinUAE like 'mount removable disks as read only' - well that would need unticking if it is there (assuming you're using a card reader).

Under Windows, first thing I'd do is delete any existing partitions on the CF, this will enable the Amiga emulation to totally handle/write to the CF, as active partitions are protected by WinUAE to avoid accidental erasure of your data. It's likely that mode you're using bypasses that protection, but I have never dealt with that so know nothing about.it.

On HDToolBox, you'll need to change the device from scsi.device to uaehf.device possibly, I woukdn't know about that either as I attach mine direct to IDE adapter. To do this just edit the tooltype in the HDToolBox icon.

Block zero write attempt but drive has one or more mounted PC partitions or WinUAE does not have Administrator privileges. Erase the drive or unmount all PC partitions first.

OK

Does this mean anything to anyone? I"ve removed the drive letter and unmounted as best as I can in Windows... definitely running as administrator... :-/

Also- what is "diskpart"?


Means that there's still a partition in use on the CF by windows. Delete this partition and all should be well.

Oh boy oh boy! It worked.... I think... now to go fish out a machine from the garage...

The little rubber feet on my 1200s are all decaying and leaving sticky crud on every surface... is there something I can do to stop them being so gross? Or do I just remove them completely? This isn't really a crucial question.... just chatting =)


I've never known the feet break down before, but they are for sale at all Amiga retailers, plus EBay and Amazon I'd of thought as they're not Commodore-specific parts.
