How i did it... I used my cross dos disk that comes on a demo disk to format the disk,its here.. http://amr.abime.net/issue_196_coverdisks Then i mounted DI0:,I ziped the game i wanted on the pc with the ziper in xp,then copied the zip to the dos disk,put in my amiga 1200 and copied the zip from the dos disk to my hard drive. Copied transadf to hard drive from ms dos disk after coping it to it from pc.. Take ms dos disk out of amiga and put in amiga formated disk.. Then i opened amiga shell.. typed DH0: typed.. Transadf df0: dh0:"what ever the zip is called".zip w n "what ever the adf is called in the zip".adf (You can do it by using the ram disk,just copy the zip and transadf to ram and in amiga shell type ram: then type Transadf df0: ram:"what ever the zip is called".zip w n "what ever the adf is called in the zip".adf) And it will start writing to the disk in the amiga drive. Done.. Hope this helps.. Last edited by spannernick; 16 July 2007 at 16:45. |

I got my USB 2.0 HDD 2.5 Inch HARD DISK DRIVE CASE today and its great,WinUAE picked up the hard drive strate away and booted from it,now i can easily transfer the games over to my A1200..
No drivers needed.. It uses the usb power from the pc so you not have to have a psu to power it.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...6006&rd=1&rd=1 Last edited by spannernick; 13 November 2023 at 00:51. |

Bit of a different question here! I have a A1200 Power Tower,Apollo 1260,3.5 10gb Hard Drive connect via a 4 way adaptor buffer interface, Sony CD-RW Running OS3.5 at present.
The issue i have is after i have installed about 800mb of the information onto the drive, when i re boot the Amiga seems to lose some hard disc partitions i have created and says that they are HD3:uninitalized instead of say WHD Games. This always happens after a reboot. Also when i reformat the partition which has been lost and start installing other items then another HD partition become uninitialized. Cannot figure out why the Amiga is doing this and all i want is a stable workbench install! Please help! |

I know this bug, it happens only with HD bigger than 4 gb. It simply writing datas of blocks after this border to the beginning of disk like say we have 4096 blocks limit on amiga but disk is 5096 so amiga instead writing to lets say 5000 block will wrote to 4 block. There some patches on aminet for this.
But that;s weird - this system shoudl work even with disks bigger than 4 gb. Check HDToolbox for disks information. Ok solution - http://strohmayer.org/ SFS site - suggestion from Shoonay and read this http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=9910 Last edited by haynor666; 07 August 2008 at 12:48.
