Install on real HDD in WinUAe

[BanisterDK]

Hey.

I know there is some good guides around (here included) but searching for them just takes to much time and I get a bit frustrated

I've tried this and followed until the reboot but sadly I did not get any NDOS drives on my workbench after the reboot (yes I hit Return on each changes)

http://wiki.classicamiga.com/How_to_install_SFS_onto_a_real_Harddrive_within_WinUAE

Maybe there is a better understanding guides with som piccys in it

Diskpart doesn't recognise my volume but it recognise the disk

 

[johnim]

you dont need diskpart if using a hardrive only for cf

I can't get the partition to be saved and no reboot is been asked after saving changes to drive.

Yes I have pressed return on all changes made
Yes I have read/write on the hdd
Yes I have followed the pdf guide from a to z

Have no idea why it wont save my partitions

 

[johnim]

just reset win uae and it should work mate

check attached file m8

do a quick format that dh1 and see what it does

if nothing remove partitions from your 40gb drive in win 7 and try again

im using 80gb and 40gb in my miggys

 

[BanisterDK]

It's not DH1 its SDH1

sfsformat drive dh1 name test
sfsformat drive dh0 name test

Both doesn't work but normal format does though it shows it as SDH1:Busy

 

[johnim]

try

sfsformat drive sdh1 name test1 (need to be diffent)
sfsformat drive sdh0 name test

try to use dh0 and so on tho in hdtool

Nope doesn't work

As I said .. I have followed every step in guide but I don't get the right drive letters.. It's like the partition part don't respond to the changes even after a reboot.

 

[johnim]

quit uae

go back to windows hardrive program remove partitions and try again

Haven't fiddled with "real" HDs (yet), though a tip... make doubly sure you always start UAE as admin. On my Win7 if I use "reset" it relaunches in an underpriviledged account.
Was very confusing at first!

Just curious (though I dunno if it matters, just asking) You got it mounted straight up to your southbridge directly (internal SATA/PATA ports) or through a USB interface?

 

[johnim]

i use usb adapter to ide

John's guide worked for a 20gb 2.5" HDD I recently configured. I was surprised that none of the drives appeared at first but I followed his advice and reset WinUAE and they all popped up.

One mistake I did make, early on, was using a much older version of WinUAE without realising!

I've done some more stuff since and I tend to use 2.3.3 now, rather than the newer version, as it works well and I know it better.

So your saying that winuae 2.4.1 don't work ?

Should work fine, that's what I used a couple days ago to set my drives up again. (through a generic USB<->CF adapter)
Really ran an "ancient" version on the XP system but both worked for mounting the drives.

Woot !!!!! I made it work

Now I am not sure where I saw but someone made a small guide to how to install ClassicWB with a zip and an Install disk.

Can't remember who made it and the name of the thread

 

[johnim]

hi look at my other guides

 

[BanisterDK]

For your guide to work I need the OS 3.9 CD which I ofc. do not have
