Inactive Add Hard Drive button

AlfaRomeo · 07 April 2010, 01:22

Hi,
I bought a new CF card and want to install sfs in it but when
I connected the CF to PC and run WinUAE when in the Hard Drives section the "Add Hard Drive" button was inactive.
Couldn´t find why the button it´s inactive

Any ideas?

Is it something to do with -disableharddrivesafetycheck ?

Admin privileges is correct answer. (I have to remove that command line soon because it is apparently used for all kinds of HD problems.. It is not even needed anymore if drive does not have mounted PC partitions!)

Couldn't you make the button always active and when the user clicks it and if admin rights are missing, display a message which tells the user how to run winuae as admin (right-click -> run as admin) ?
