WinUAE not detecting USB Connected 209MB HD
Hi,
I have just got my Amiga 1200's internal HD connected via USB but am now having trouble getting WinUAE detecting and being able to boot from it. I have tried running as administrator and using a bat file run as admin containing: PHP Code:
My setup is: i7, usb connected amiga hd 209mb, WinUAE with kickstart rom 1.3 rev 34.5 Anyone got any advice on how I go about getting WinUAE to recognise the drive, boot up off it and copy all its files to a windows drive? Thanks Darcey |

I got a little closer with these settings, it found I have a USB key plugged in but still no amiga hd.
Program running in compatibility mode - windows xp sp3 Program running as administrator Quickstart: Model A1200 selected (NTSC unticked) Kickstart rom: Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.68 Went into Hardware > Hard drives > Add Hard Drive Which gave me this: |

I never got my little Amiga HDD's to work via USB, I tried the 250mb from my A4000 the 20mb from my A600HD and the 80mb from my A1200 and none of these would ever even show up, not even in the Storage Tools within Computer Management.
The 4/6/20/40/80gb 2.5in HDD's I've tried have all worked no problems at all... Steve. |

ooooh noooo... Guess I will have to now buy the IDE internal cable and see if that works then...
But I do get windows detecting the drive... So I assume it's just software to pick it up and use it. The drive is from my Amiga 1200 which now sits in bag awaiting its reconstruction. NOTE I DID NOT SELECT OK |

USB adapters rarely detect very old drives correctly. Screenshot is not very useful because it does not show drive 6 size or any other information.
winuaebootlog.txt will show the exact problem. (start winuae, click add harddrive, close winuae) |

Are you able to back up the drive on a CF card via the PCMCIA slot?
I suggest backing it up that way and replacing with a CF-IDE adapter, a nice 2 or 4gb CF card would be silent, just as fast and use less power. Many of my old drives have started to fail and I've gone accross to CF storage or newer drives. By the way if you back up all your files on a CF you can use WinUAE to restore it all to your new drive. Steve. |

A total random clutch at a straw idea...
If I could find a file (boot image) downloadable from somewhere? If I booted from that into workbench would the booted Workbench detect the drive? Or would it be WinUAE that must give the drives to the emulator and then to the workbench? |

The problem is my A1200 no longer has a working mouse, working internal floppy drive and the power pack popped last time I plugged it all in. These are my last attempts at getting thousands of hours of my younger days of sampling sounds with audio engineer sound sampler, writing lots and lots of tracks in octamed and noisetracker. I even have some of my art GCSE on the hard drive lol... Would be awesomely scary to get a listen and look at all that. |

Would this be corrected if I bought the internal IDE connector cable? Last edited by TCD; 06 December 2010 at 21:53. Reason: Back to back posts merged. Use multi-quote. |

Yep a HDF is a Hard Drive Image that WinUAE can use, you add the HDF instead of the hard drive. Then you can access all your data. What I could do is pop your Hard Drive in my A1200, boot from it, install Compact Flash Drivers from Floppy and make a backup of the contents of your drive to a CF card, access it in my WinUAE setup and and transfer the files to an empty HDF that I can send to you via MSN, FTP or even burn to a CD for you. I can return the drive to you for safe keeping. Steve. |

Small world eh Nice one, legend! I just ordered the internal IDE cable from amazon. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Laptop-Drive...661233&sr=1-20 Will give that a try in WinUAE when it arrives and if not it would be awesome if you could 7zip the drive up and ftp it to somewhere for me. However I do still have the last octamed track I ever made: http://www.allforthecode.co.uk/amiga/Enduced.MP3 Total crap but was great at the time Will post back on this forum when I get that cable work or fail. Thanks for all your help Cheers Darcey |

IDE cable will work, unless drive is extremely ancient with buggy firmware. Some very old drives may require forced PIO0 setting in PC BIOS.

Or, if you want to save space and stick with copying files, you should make a VHD file rather than a HDF (WinUAE calls it "dynamic HDF"). This way the image file takes up only as much space as the files it contains but is as accurate as a fixed-size HDF. Note that if you copy Amiga files to a FAT formatted CF card, you loose file comments and protection bits. Better use an Amiga archiver like LhA to archive files with all their attributes. Or make a HDF like described above. |
