thanks for link, but it's aimed at using a real HD for installation into a real amiga, but suppose the principle is the same.
does winuae include support for HDs larger than 4gig? thanks update - cool it worked nicely, thanks again for the link Last edited by wilch; 05 March 2011 at 13:34. |

WinUAE has the same support for large harddrives (real harddrives, not folders) as modern real-Amiga harddisk controllers. In conjunction with SFS you can use big harddrives and big partitions just like you would on a real Amiga.
To emulate a real harddrive, either use a real harddrive ("add harddrive" button) or enable "RDB mode" when adding a HDF or VHD. |

Yeah I used RDB mode and created a HDF. HDtools partitioning would set the size back to 1mb whenever I dragged the size past 4gb so I thought that was still the limit, so I went with 512mb System folder and 2 4gb Games folders, but the file system is SFS which is the main thing
