WHDload and ADF for dummies...

[shufflemoomin]

Hey guys,

I'm new to this whole Amiga with an HDD and CF stuff. It was just floppies when I was a lad.

I'd like to figure out two things: The basics of how to use WHDload to install games to the HDD and if I can install from, or run, ADF files directly from the CF card.

I can't find any basic tutorials for noobs like myself. Can anyone answer these questions, give advice or point me to somewhere that covers the basics for me?

Thanks to anyone who can help,

Thanks for info. I know ADFs are floppy images, but I hoped there was a way to install them direct from CF without the middle step of copying to disk. I guess it's a necessary evil.

Thanks for the help

Thanks for all the replies guys. Some of the terms are over my head, such as RAD and NODOS. I guess I have some stuff to learn.

I have many original floppies here too. Can someone take a noob like me through the steps of installing WHDload and getting the game on the HDD? The WHDload site doesn't really have a basic tutorial. I find their info more confusing than helpful to be honest.

Anyone able or willing to help me along here?
Thanks again for all the great help.
