Replace WB

Dr. Dude · 05 July 2004, 20:03

Ok, i got my self a perfect installation made on WinUAE. (special made for my migy 1200)
i have all the files ready to be placed on my reall Amigy 1200. I can transfur all stuf by network. (running at a crapy 33kb/sec)

now i got the feeling when i start replaceing the WB in my reall Amiga whit the WB from WinUAE. It will fail as some stuf will be in use....i guess

Now can i just pop it over? Or do i need to do something els first?

If you are running Win XP on the PC you can simple remove the hardrive from your A1200 , place it in your PC and by using the 'Add Hardrive' in WinUAE add the HD to your emulated Amiga. then simply copy all the files on your emulated hardrive to your real Amiga HD and put it back in your A1200. You may have to do a few changes regarding screen modes etc but this should work fine.

No?

Thank god theres another way

at the moment i make my post....My old pc has given the gost....again

When i pop the drive in, do i need to set things in the Bios?

Peanutuk · 05 July 2004, 20:58

Just set whatever usual occupies the space as 'Auto' and make sure the PC isn't booting from it. Apart from that it should be quite straight forward.

Dr. Dude · 05 July 2004, 21:39

well it doen't find it. I have looked in the bios, tryed a autodetect, but nothing

Maybe some yumper setting?
As i have 4 pins left on my HD
Any clue what pins need to be conected?

i didnt need to do anything hardware wise at all.

You're supposed to have four pins left over if it's a 2.5" hard drive - that's the jumper block. Um, are you trying to plug your 2.5" Amiga hard drive, with 44 pins, onto the 40 pin header on your PC's motherboard? That won't work unless you've got an adaptor of some sort.

Depending on the age of your motherboard, and the way you've got the BIOS set up, you may need to add the hard drive into the IDE setup screen (it should be the first option, above "Advanced Settings" - can't remember exactly what it's called, and it might be different on your machine anyway).l

You also need to make sure that the jumpers are set up properly. If you have more than one drive on the cable, one of them needs to be set to "master", and one of them needs to be set to "slave". Don't use "cable select", as it tends to be unreliable. If the hard drive is the only one connected on the cable, you don't need to set the jumpers. You can find the jumper settings either printed on the drives themselves, or on the manufacturer's website. Each drive's jumpers and settings are different.

yes i have an adaptor
the drive gets power
But it does not get found in anyway.

i have tryed all jumper settings

Normaly there shut be a setting in the bios to force it in.

But the freaking bios has only auto detection

now i have a VERY noisy 40 Gb hd that i am gona put in my old comp (as the 10 Gb give the gost yesterday

)

Maybe it it work in there
