CF formatting and recognized under WinUAE
Hello Amiga Friends,
I am following this video tutorial : [ Show youtube player ] in order to prepare a CF ( formatting and recognition ) under WinUAE. But I get stucked in minute 06:08 of the video. The issue is this: after partitioning the CF like in the example I go to save changes and get this error:  Note: my CF 4GB card has been previously formatted with Windows and in this way I can see Generic USB Drive when I add Hard Drives with WinUAE while if the card is not formatted I only see [NO MEDIA][ N/A,RW] RICOH R5C592 02 0001. So I insert a Windows FAT formatted CF like the guy in the video. I would appreciate any help!!!! Last edited by W4r3DeV1L; 20 December 2012 at 09:29. |

Before you run WinUAE, run DiskPart and clean the CF card so that WinUAE lists it as [UNK] instead of [MBR].
Code:
Microsoft DiskPart Version, 6.0.6002
Copyright (C) 1999-2007 Microsoft Corporation.
Auf Computer: TEMPTATION
DISKPART> list disk

Remove the CF card from the reader and reinsert it. Open Windows Explorer and double click on the drive letter of the CF card. Windows should open a dialog box saying "You need to format the medium before you can use it / format now / cancel". Click on cancel.
Run WinUAE again. Does it still say "no media"? Then try a different version of WinUAE (latest version or even latest beta preferred). Or try a different card reader. |

You usually have to run WinUAE as admin or it won't be able to use a blank card.

Dear friends...
Every time I clean the CF ... I only have this when I try to add the new CD Drive:  and the big dilemma for me is understand the steps to sort out all this... I mean: Should I Windows format my CF before and then partitioning it then clean? or how.... or clean but it is impossible for me to partition because I have no one drive in the ToolBox.... I only can see in the ToolBox my CF when it's winodws formmated... |

Clean the CF card and you should be able to use it in WinUAE if you run it as admin.

"?" is right. This means the CF card is empty but you didn't run WinUAE as admin. Right-click WinUAE and select "run as administrator", then it should show [UNK].
(see minute 1:20 of the tutorial) You can do this with the shortcut, too, you don't need to search winuae.exe. |
