Workbench is not mounting other HDF Drives

Workbench is not mounting other HDF drives on WinUAE, this is Classic Workbench but it is a copy of my other one that was on a CF card but is now a HDF file, all I did was copy its files from DH0(Workbench Partition)with Dopus 1 to a new HDF file and made it bootable, but now if I add a HDF files as a HD drive so as DH1,(I have tried the RDB Mode button too and its still not showing) it does not appear on the Workbench screen...?

If I add the HDF file to my other one, the original HDF(CF) Classic Workbench, it sees it and mounts it and shows it on the Workbench screen..?

Very Weird, I might of copied Workbench wrong or Dopus did... ??#

Could it be looking for a partition thats on the original HDF file, it has 3 partitions, HD0, DH1 and DH3.

Sorry it was me, I added a Dismount DH1 to the Workbench startup Sequence...

I added it it the origanl one cause DH1 has Classic Workbench Advanced on it, DH0 has Classic Workbench GAAE on it.

Well this might help someone still if they have a problem with mounting HD drives or HDF files.

You don't need to unmount the volume, just rename the volume and uncheck the boot checkbox.

Two systems with the same name will conflict, and if you use a Hardfile in RDB Mode, you will have to uncheck the boot checkbox on the second partition, because the two Hardfiles may have the same Partition Name.
