A600 + CF and WINUAE

[salfordman]

Hi i have a proper noob question here!

Would it be possible to format a 256mb compact flash card in WINUAE then install workbench to it from ADF image then put in my A600?

Cheers

Add the CF card as a drive under the WinUAE "harddisk" settings. Boot with the WB 3.1 "install" ADF, and launch HDToolbox. (First, you will probably have to change HDToolbox tooltype from "scsi.device" to "uaehf.device".) You should then be able to partition the drive with HDToolbox, reboot, format, and install 3.1 from the ADFs.

I'm sure others will pop in with anything I've missed.

 Also start WinUAE from a command line.

 Type in:

 winuae.exe -disableharddrivesafetycheck. This override the partitions protection of the pc. Be careful to not partition the Windows HD after the UAE program start!
