winuae install problems

flipper · 11 December 2007, 21:01

hi ive been using amigas for a long time but my hardware just died so i thought id give winuae a try

ive read all the readme and faqs but i must be missing something.

so far ive got my 3.1 roms and my 3.1/3.5 install cd (ive had it for about 10 years) ive got winuae to boot to the emergency floppy and emergency cd section on the cd ive set up a directory called wb35 and followed the install instructions on a website but im having problems with several things from there

cant seem to format and adf
cant install main part of 3.5 as it causes guru 8000000b when i reboot and i have to start from scratch when this happens
the installer will not let me choose my boot directory on 3.5 but it will on 3.1

so far ive only been able to boot from a 3.1 emergency disk created by the cd

would appreciate any help that i can get - im not affraid of a manual install

cheers

Someone correct me if i'm wrong but isn't that guru caused by using 68040.library on a 060 processor?
Anyways there is almost nothing to gain from selecting a 060 versus a 040 processor in winuae.

On some versions of hdtoolbox you need to manually set the 'device=uaehf.device' tooltype in its icon before you are able to see it there.
Not sure on why formatting gives you a guru, though i seem to recall having similar problems. Unfortunatly i can't remember how i managed to fix this.

cracked it icon information was set to scsi.device plus a bit - deleted all that and put device=uaehf.device double clicked on hdtoolbox and it was there the format thing was me using tools/format which gave me the guru but when i when to menu icon there was a format disk option which worked fine.

thanks for all the help have bumped into more problems but will start new thread for them
