Using an Amiga harddisk with WinUAE

abelthorne · 17 November 2003, 17:37

I've been told that it is possible to mount an Amiga-formatted harddisk in a PC and access it in WinUAE.

How do I do that ? I haven't tried yet to put the disk in the pc, so that's mainly a question about "is that simple to do or will I run into problems ?"

Is it that simple :
- put the harddisk (ide in my case) into the pc
- click on "add harddrive" in the "hard drives" tab of WinUAE and it will be automatically detected ?

And btw, do I have to plug the harddisk on the ide port of my motherboard, or is it possible to use an ide-to-usb adapter ? I'va already used this kind of adapter to use an extra harddisk on my pc, but will it be recognized by WinUAE... ?

Yes, at least in theory

I think it depends on adapter. My 6in1-USB card adapter (tested with Compact Flash and Memory Stick) is visible to WinUAE.

(But I am not sure if Amiga formatted memory card is useful..)

I tried it recently, and it worked like a charm. Well done Toni. Saved me a lot of hassle now I have lost my PCMCIA net card...

Could I read a CF card (in a PC under WinUAE) that was formatted as a HD on an Amiga?
