Can I install ClassicWB3.9?

zerohour1974 · 06 April 2015, 23:32

I can transfer the adf to floppy. Zip the system.hdf etc. However I am using a 4GB CF card as my hard drive on my A1200. The issue is its ADH0: not DH0: is there a way to get it working?

As the instructions state the primary drive has to be DH0: or it will not work.

As I am new to the A1200 can it be ASSIGNed to work.

Just hook your CF up to your PC with a USB reader and transfer the files in WinUAE, there's absolutely no need to use the system.zip method.

Found WinUAE methods unreliable with CF cards. Maybe if I copy the zip to the second partition. Format the primary renaming it DF0: copy the zip back from the second partition to newly formatted primary and run install floppy.

Maybe you have a faulty card reader?

You just need to go into HDToolbox and rename the partition DH0:. You wont loose any data. Once everything is Installed you can rename it back to ADH0: (If you want to)
