If it has Windows compatible filesystem: tick removable drive option in harddrive panel. I don't think removable stuff will work with scsi or ide, only with UAE controller.

Hi Toni,
Thanks for the reply,
I also wanted to ask you always that this is coherent with the emulation
Personally I initialize a hard disk with GParted by selecting the whole hard disk with new partition table with amiga filesystem.
In Os4.1 the disk is always recognized perfectly through uaehf.device
With HDToolbox select save disk, when I reboot I just have to partition the disk as I prefer, and very simple and fast.
Is this method efficient?
Or are there other methods via winUAE that somehow make disk initialization more efficient and thus making the disk faster?
Or does it make no difference?

Thanks again for the latest version released.
Thank you.
