If you have Win2k / XP, you can now do it with winuae too.

You have to make the hard drive a raw device, then do the installation inside Winuae with the normal Amiga tools. (it's in the harddisks tab) .. I can't be more specific as I don't have winuae or dx8 on my work machine.

Like you found out, it won't work if you partition the disk with fdisk - the Amiga doesn't understand MBR partition tables.

Does that mean *only* on Win2k/XP?

Yup.

Maybe you can add NT4 to the list, but I'm not sure about that.

Toni told me that the way he uses to directly access the drive isn't supported on 9x.. IIRC it isn't ASPI, but some other, more direct layer.

37.299 (yes, . 001 of a difference) had a bug that stopped the harddrives being detected.

I thought that the reason for .299 not working is that it's missing the scsi.device altogether. :-)

Hmm, I guess I should hunt down an image of that and check it out for myself..
