Difficulty in setting up 'System.zip' for Classic Workbench - possibly a shortcut?

Although at the moment I want to get WHDLoad working, Id also like to install Classic Workbench (especially if i cant get WHDLoad to install) but im having problems... :(

Basically, im trying to follow these instructions:

Quote:

Instructions

Place the "ClassicWB.UAE" file into the WinUAE configurations directory.
Start WinUAE and load the ClassicWB config. image
Select a relevant ROM file in the ROMS tab. image
Add the "System.hdf" file to the Hard Drives tab using "Add Hardfile" - make sure it's listed as being device DH0: image
Save the configuration. image
Boot and follow the on-screen instructions. image

I get from 1-5 fine with no problems whatsoever...but then from Step 6 its asking me to insert my Workbench disk in...but because its an Amiga Workbench disk it doesent recognise it on my PC!

These are instructions for WinUAE and it asks you for a Workbench disk but how come when it wont recognise it on the PC? How do you get around this?

I do have a PCMCIA card so could I simply place the 'system.hdf' file somewhere on my hard drive (if so...where would i put it?) and then bootup from a floppy I could create with the 'RealAmigaInstall.adf' on there?

If you've inserted a WB disk into your PC it will not recognize this or ANY other disk (unless you have catweasel or one of those double-drive trick but that's another story).
If you're emulating, put an image of the disk into the emulated drive.
If you're running the installer on a real Amy, put the wb disk into the drive.

Do you know how i could get an image of Workbench? I appreciate that this is a very grey area but i have a copy of Workbench for the Amiga and the instructions for this program indiciate I need to use WinUAE (for this first part). But I dont have an image of Workbench that the PC will see.

Or is there a shortcut because I have a PCMCIA card?

Well, you said you've got wb already on you real Amy, but it's kind of a no-no to post it here, so... ;)
