WinUAE 1.3 does not detect my Amiga 2.5" IDE HDD

gizmomelb · 18 July 2006, 07:06

Drive is connected and windows can 'see' it, but WinUAE 1.3 says no empty disk or RDB formatted disk connected.

I'll try another of my Amiga 2.5" IDE HDD's tonight when I get home, as well as see if I can spot anything abnormal about the drive I'm currently trying.

Its telling you that the drive is not empty, or an RDB disk is connected, just click OK.. from what i remember, that dialog is NORMAL.

Is the HDD in the drive drop down box ?

Click "add harddrive"-button, close the dialog, close winuae and check winuaebootlog.txt for more drive detection information.

Does Bios and Windows detect the drive? (=do you see it in device manager and in disk manager?)
