Add Harddrive greyed out in WinUAE 1.4.3?

narmi · 06 September 2007, 06:46

I have a strange problem. I'm trying to mount an Amiga formatted CF card in WinUAE (as I have done before), but the "Add Harddrive" button is greyed out. I cannot click it! I know how this is supposed to work, as I did setup a HD for my A590 a few months ago with an older version of WinUAE. I have tried with and without the -disableharddrivesafetycheck option.

I'm running Win2K SP4. My bootlog is attached, which shows it does find my drive (SanDisk ImageMate CF-SM 0100). And I am running with administrator privileges, so that should not be the problem. Why would the "Add Harddrive" button be greyed out?

EDIT: I just tried version 1.4.2a, and it works fine. Strange eh?

"Add harddrive" is enabled if Windows platform type is NT and current user has admin privileges. Attached boot log looks ok (NT and admin detected)

Sorry, I have no ideas..

Oops, new "full" administrator check uses Windows XP+ functions, Windows 2000 administrator mode was detected as Vista-style "limited" administrator.

Will be fixed in next version.
