I try to setup the file with right button and then information change to can read, write etc..
 
But Still no work,  any one have any idea what happens??

You also have to set your UAE folder to read/write from the Windows side.

Hi,
 
Its all ready set to read/write from windows side, you refer to the hdf file mark the read/write box?

I can't be 100% sure of this, but I read that certain post OS3.1 versions... (I thought only OS3.5, tho) mess up protection bits on some files....
What I did, back in the day is just use DirectoryOpus, select all files on the drive, and set the protection bits as needed....... the C DIR in this case, BTW.

You also need to change ENVARC:Sys/WBPattern.prefs.

ENV is in RAM and is used only for the current session ("Use" button). ENVARC is on your harddrive and the place where the permanent setting is stored ("Save" button). During boot ENVARC is copied to ENV, this means it is not of much use to make ENV write enabled because on next reboot the protection is copied from ENARC again.

BTW, you should mount the installation CD as a CD (with mount file in devs/dosdrivers) and not as a virtual harddrive (WinUAE settings). If you do this, there won't be problems with protection bits after installation. The problem arises because under Windows all files on a CD are marked write protected.

Thanks,


 
But still Can´t change the workbench desktop image.

 
I change the read/write on ENV and ENVARC nothing  Also select all the files in the SYSTEM to Read/write Access and nothing too.
 
Only what I think now to do is copy to a CF and boot from Real Amiga to see, if not then I will try to mount like thomas say the CD-Rom by a mount with CD0: inside the winuae and reistall the 3.9 and see.

Select "execute command" from the Workbench menu and enter this:

protect sys:#? +wd all

Wait until it is finished and reboot. This should cure it once and for all. No need to reinstall.

Only one more thing, on Vista or 7 don't store your Amiga files in C:\Program files. WinUAE won't be able to write to there, no matter what the protection bits say. Better move the files to C:\Users\Public or elsewhere where no exe files are.

A good place is C:\Users\Public\Documents\Amiga Files. That's where Amiga Forever stores its files and WinUAE automatically finds rom files and configurations there.
