Go to the hard drive tab of winUAE and chose "Add directory" (To use a directory on your harddrive as root for an emulated drive) select the dir and name the drive, or "Add hardfile" to create a file. Here you might want to specify a couple of things, (At least size and filename).
That should be about that. You'll need to have workbench or some sort of file handling system to use them though. And formatting would be nescesary I think. |

Kickstart 1.3 doesn't have support for hard drives, thats why it doesn't work with Workbench 1.3
Hard drives are supported in Kickstart 2.0 onwards. |

Sorry, no, Kickstart 1.3 added support for autobooting hard drives. & the FastFileSystem. That was the big difference between 1.2 & 1.3.

Well my copy of workbench doesn't allow HD's nor does it allow FastFileSystem, in fact it doesn't even recognise disk that are FFS formated.
And yes I have just tested it I stand by what I said. |

You are all wrong
1.3 allows booting from HD. 1.3 also supports booting from FFS partitions if FFS handler is written to HD's boot sectors (don't remember the official name) with HDToolBox (it is somewhere in advanced settings). Only KS 2.0 and later had FFS in ROM. But note that WinUAE's "Add Directory"-HD emulation IS a filesystem, it does not need any Amiga filesystems. One way to read FFS floppies with pre-2.0 Kickstarts is to add special mountlist entry and mount them. (just like you need to add mountlist entry for reading PC-floppies) |

@Toni
Speaking of UAE, there IS a difference regarding Kickstart 1.3: You can boot from a HD directory, but not from a HDF image. The reason for this is Bernd Schmidt's uaehf.device (required to boot from HDF, it's defined in devs:mountlist) which does NOT support Kick 1.3. That's a fact. Toni, show me how to boot from HDF using Kick 1.3 in WinUAE and I'll go into a corner and feel ashamed. We also had a discussion about this issue in the German Amiga forum, and it turned out both me and another user were right, because we had always spoken about "booting from HD" throughout without going into detail a little bit more. However, with the help of a "trigger disk", I *am* able now to boot from a HDF with Kick 1.3 (thanks to Robert Templeton who posted very detailed instructions in the news back in 1999!). This disk is for the starting procedure only, it's not needed anymore afterwards. But it will not work without this boot disk, unless Bernd rewrites his uaehf.device to support Kick 1.3.
