Cant create hard drives that work.

[Diguelo]

I can create the HDF files in versions 4.2.1 and 4.1, trouble is that HDD Tools does not detect any of them at all.
Ive tried all available types of interface in the pulldown for each drive i tried to create.
Obviously this is frustarting and a little advice would be welcome please. Boot file is vanilla,
The idea is to create a A1200 with 2MB chip ram and 2MB Z3 AGA and two floppies like one i owned back in the nineties. Personally I have a feeling its a windows 10 issue, but i have tried it with ALL interface types, this is just one config in hundreds.

Can you post the logs too?

[Toni Wilen]

It looks like you mounted the HDF as SCSI but there is no SCSI controllers enabled. Change HD controller to UAE (=uaehf.device) or IDE if you want to use A1200 internal IDE.

Your config also has few other problems: wrong KS ROM (A500, should be A1200), Chipset extra (chipset panel) should be A1200 or you get "generic" Amiga without any mainboard specific hardware (like IDE port in this case).

[Diguelo]

Every 1200 rom I have, 3.1 gives the same Machine selection. The A1200 only goes to 3.0 no higher. I do have some 143 files of 1200 roms but i dont know what to do with them.

Run them through the TOSEC DATs (this one specifically "Commodore Amiga - Firmware (TOSEC-v2017-10-17_CM).dat") and ClrMamePro to identify if you have "KS ROM v3.1 (A1200) rev 40.68 (512k).rom".

...or if you don't know how to do this you'll have to zip the ROMs up and then find the one with a CRC32 of 1483A091.

Anyway, you can still create use .HDFs using "KS ROM v3.0 (A1200) rev 39.106 (512k).rom".

Is this part of what Toni said confusing you?

Just go to "Chipset", from under "Chipset Extra" changed from "Generic" --> "A1200".

[Toni Wilen]

Or put all your roms in winuae rom path directory (Paths panel), click rescan roms. It will autodetect official roms and detected roms will appear in ROM panel ROM menu.

While i was on Windows 7 x64 everything worked fine with no issues, then I went over to Windows 10 x64 and that worked initially on 4.1, then the updates came in and as usual everything stops working. Drivers, configurations in favour of the "You really do need these updates of software from 2016, when the 2018 version was installed" then the retraction and reinsertion of updated updates and WinUAE is one of the victims. Had to switch because of a machine switch.
Thanks for the link and the help guys all appreciated.
A full up to date instruction set and pics would be nice, ill get on with doing one, give me something to do once i get this working.
