WinUAE has the option of mounting and preparing a real hard drive for use on an Amiga! This option is only available in Win2k-XP.

I don't agree with those who say connect the drive to a PC and use winuae to install everything on it. It's just making things more complicated in my opinion.

If everything is working, the cd file system is installed and working then there's no need to do it like that. Just get the 3.9 CD and start installing. Things will be a lot easier after that.

I agree!

@ami_junki
I installed ClassicWB Lite on a standard A1200 yesterday. It works great, I should have done this a long time ago :-)

But I have to say.. You have to follow the instructions on the site! You learn a lot by doing that.

But.. I just started ClassicWB in WinUAE (hate this, I like to use a real Amiga!) Started DOpus and copied all the files to a folder on a CF card, used PCMCIA-CF card to copy it to my A1200.

I just want to say, there has been a lot of great instructions in this thread, I have learned something new of this!

of course you can burn files to a cd in windows and then put the cd in your amiga and copy there.

Though, I would advise against extracting the files before you burn them to CD. Better to burn the archives. If you unpack them on your PC the file names and protection bits is very likely to get borked since the file handling is completely different on an amiga compared to windows.

Best is. Burn the archives, put the cd in your amiga and extract them there instead.

You need a program called transadf to write an .adf to a floppy.

I have never used this ClassicWB so I know nothing about it and can't help you there.

To unpack a zip you need the unzip program.
