WinUAE Compact Flash Issues
Hello again,
I'm trying to format and setup a 4GB compact flash card to work as a hard drive for my upgraded Amiga 500 using WinUAE and I'm having some problems. So everywhere I have looked has told me what I need to do in order to mount the cf card as a hard drive, but when I attempt to boot into Classic workbench GAAE, the version I intend on having in my A500, it tells me I'm missing a system.zip file in DH0 and it won't allow me to boot to workbench. What am I doing wrong here? It seems like a relatively simple process so I'm not sure what's going on. Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks |

Do not insert the Real_Amiga_Install.ADF. That's to finish the installation on your real Amiga, not for WinUAE.
Just follow the instructions: http://classicwb.abime.net/classicwe...tionsgreen.htm |

The basic process would be to forget about the CF card and do the steps listed under "Instructions". Once you've done all that and have things working, /then/ you'll change the WinUAE config to include the CF card as an additional drive. Boot into ClassicWB with the CF card attached as well this time. Once you are booted, format the CF card, and then copy everything from ClassicWB into the CF card.

If you're partitioning/formatting CF cards in WinUAE don't forget you must set the MAX_TRANSFER to the correct value if you want it to work with a real Amiga IDE interface.
