Is this done with WinUAE Leytond?

leytond · 19 February 2009, 14:36

yes i copy all the files from the small system folder on the wokbench deskto in winuae, to the system that looks like a flopy
then zip the folder with winxp

leytond · 19 February 2009, 14:38

something should be made so all this can be done on the amiga
it would save all this messing around.

TCD · 19 February 2009, 14:41

Just sell it leytond. Or keep OS 3.5. Or OS 3.9...

DH · 19 February 2009, 14:41

You know, all I did was to point WinUAE to the System.hdf, and it all loaded up nicely, If I remember right.

I'll give you £5 for the whole lot

leytond · 19 February 2009, 14:46

it dose all load up, have a look at the pic i posted,
but the system.zip file keeps saying there is an error unpacking wbstartup?????????????
when i try to install it on the amiga,

DH · 19 February 2009, 15:05

Are you loading into workbench 3.1 in WinUAE first before trying to install ClassicWB

leytond · 19 February 2009, 15:10

????????????
i tell winuae were the adf files for os3.1 are , add adf file, add the folder i made called system, and click start,
os 3.1 boots as i shown in the pic

leytond · 19 February 2009, 15:12

this is what i get when i try to unpack the system.zip file. unzip fail returncode 50.

DH · 19 February 2009, 15:14

Why don't you just do this in the piccie below. It will load straight into classicWB as you have selected the System.hdf as your main hard drive. Don't worry too much about the piccie, it has been joined up to show you the full path of the System.hdf file.

Unzip the file first using XP or Vista, depending on the OS your peecee is using, straight to your 'desktop' or into 'My Documents' then select the System.hdf in WinUAE like in the piccie above.

leytond · 19 February 2009, 15:20

thats what i do , add hard file,
then put the sorce of the flopy drives.
then it loads os3.1

DH · 19 February 2009, 15:21

Don't put anything into the floppy drives, it's loading from them instead. Leave them out and just load from the HDF file only.

now ive got a grey screen asking for workbench disk and i should press enter

DH · 19 February 2009, 15:28

When I do what I've just told you, I get this piccie

Well put it in and see what happens, it may need it to update ClassicWB with your original Workbench ADF.

killergorilla · 19 February 2009, 15:31

Do as DemonHellraiser said.

His picture looks nicer than the grey screen.

leytond · 19 February 2009, 15:33
