HDF file wont boot in Winuae

Yes, if I dont, it doesnt list any drives to select from

Do you run WinUAE as administrator? It needs administrator rights to access real harddrives.

Perhaps the USB adapter is the culprit. Do you have another one?

have tried different IDE adapters as well. Seems WinUAE just isnt going to work on the PC with my Amiga HD.

Not to worry, my 4GB CF arrived yesterday, so I'm using EasyADF to backup each partition to an .LHA file to the card which will suffice as a backup. I see what you mean about taking ages though, but its getting there

Thanks again for all your help and advice, much obliged

managed to copy over the .LHA files (took about 2.5 hours altogether) form the CF to my PC, now I can access everything, brilliant

managed to copy over the .LHA files (took about 2.5 hours altogether using EasyADF to compress on the Amiga) and then copied them from the CF to my PC, now I can access everything as if I was using the Amiga, brilliant
