Hi, ok i have sorted out the copying process and managed to copy the workbench files onto my cf card within winuae using the cli command.
The 4gb cf card itself had been formatted into fat format through windows beforehand, and i know it works fine when transferring adf's to floppy.

I have done 2 tests, one with the classicWB68k(after installing the WB files to it ok), the other with a WB2 install i did from scratch.
Both WB's boot up in winuae fine using an A600 profile with hd.

I then put the boot floppy into the amiga with the cf/pcmcia card that has the WB files directly copied onto it, and both times it boots of the boot floppy for about 20secs, then does nothing and sits on a blank screen,

I think i'm about to give up on this after spending the last 3 nights trying to get something working, i don't know what i am doing wrong and it's really frustrating.

I appreciate all the help, Han.
