Do you have A1200 configuration? (Advanced chipset extra setting MUST be A1200 to enable A1200-style IDE)

Yes,I have used A1200 configuration and I have tried with Chipset Extra Generic and Chipset Extra A1200.Still not working.

Is this message normal?displayed several times once mounted the hard drive

aha

you need to run winuae with the -disableharddrivesafetycheck parameter

right click your win Uae icon and select "create shortcut"

The target should read:

Path to wherever you have put winuae...\winuae.exe -disableharddrivesafetycheck

hope this helps

You sure you have A1200 ROM? It must match with hardware configuration.

Or simply select "UAE" controller. (but remember that UAE is fully 64-bit compatible by default, make sure you have scsi.device updates in real A1200 or you will lose data if drive is larger than 4G...)

I created the shorcut but I have no any section(WindowsXP) to select "disable harddrive safety check" so...

do I type this manually in the section to the path?:

\winuae.exe -disableharddrivesafetycheck

UAE controller doesn't work either,HD remains undetected

Did you add uaehf.device parameter to hdtoolbox? (if you don't use most recent version) by default old hdtoolbox version only support scsi.device

frikilokooo · 18 April 2009, 11:51

Now I have edited hdtoolbox typing uaehf.device,now the device is detected but is unknow because the CF is not empty,the CF should not have any format(it has FAT format).What can I do?
