40GB HD on A1200
I'm trying to follow this guide to get a 40GB 3.5" IDE to work with most of the space available to the Amiga.
However, upon step 2 (boot into WinUAE, open HDToolBox) I can't see the drive at all. This WITH the "Winuae -disableharddrivesafetycheck" command from the shell. Using WinUAE 2.4.1, neither 64bit nor 32bit version of WinUAE seem to like that command . And using Win 7 as well. |

It should be "uaehf.device". Does windows see the drive, as that could be the problem. I have alot of drives here, windows refuses to see. |

Well, things are working so far... Using FFS on the boot partition of ~130MB, SFS on a 3GB partition.
Now to install NSDPatch and such things (after reading documentation about whether or not its compatible with scsi.device, of course) and see where that takes us. |

1. remove all PC partitions from the drive if there are any
2. run WinUAE as administrator (right-click WinUAE and select run as admin) -disable... ist not needed any more. |

40GB? ... My Amiga did well with just 20MB lol. I'm surprised people need such a lot of space for Amiga, unless they planning on entire TOSEC collection

The WHDLoad collection and CD images (you can mount them) take a few GB.
