Create a bootable hard disk with WB

Hatt · 31 August 2023, 23:57

Can I use FS-UAE to create a bootable hard disk image that I can then copy to a Compact Flash card to use in my Amiga 600?

I have adf files for WB 3.1

You can use the CF card as the hard drive in FS-UAE and emulate an A600. Then install everything as you would normally, using the CF card as your target hard drive. Once you’re done, shut down, remove the card, place it in your A600, and et voila, it should work!

Thanks. Is there a guide on adding the hard disk in FS-UAE? It all looks a bit different to WinUAE.

Major note - run as Administrator if you are using Windowz in order for this to work.

Ah and why only WB 3.1 - you can use one of ClassicWB or go for WB 3.14 or 3.2. (you would need new KS for your 'miggy for later two)

You can also install BetterWB, Best WB or somethin' like that. (depends how much Rum you have, m8! )
