CF issue in winuae
Hi I'm trying to aet up a CF card as a hard drive in Winuae so that I can prepare it, install workbench & other programs before using in my A1200 to replace the HD.
I have deleted partitions on the CF card using Paragon partition in windows XP PC. When I click add hard drive winuae sees it as non-empty and throws up a warning message. "saftey check is active. Disk is not empty and non RDB partitioned" But is is unallocated space - definately deleted the partition. Tried x2 VF cards now winuae says same thing.... It is definately unallocated space 1.98Gb.... so what am I doing wrong? Last edited by jimmer78; 29 May 2009 at 18:56. |

Just disable the safety check in WinUAE: run it with the -disableharddrivesafetycheck command line option. If you don't know how, use the search function. This has been discussed 1,000,001 times. |

Ok - managed to start winuae in -disableharddrivesafetycheck mode, add hard drive - CF card apperas on list as 1.9Gb NON EMPTY. It lets me add it but when I start workbench using OS 3.9, and run HDtoolbox the drive is not listed anywhere....not on desktop either??
Tried both IDE 0 and winuae for controller....no joy? The CF card is connected through USB reader. any ideas? Last edited by jimmer78; 30 May 2009 at 13:35. |

As mentioned before, add the -disableharddrivesafetycheck command line option to WinUAE.
Under the WinUAE Hard Drives section, go to Add Hard Drive and select the CF card. Leave the HD Controller = uae. Check the Read/Write option. Boot into the Amiga (OS 3.9). Go to sys:tools/HDToolBox and add the ASKDEVICE tooltype to the HDToolBox program. Comment out the other options by adding () around them. Start HDToolBox. The program will ask you to choose a device. Select uaehf.device and after that, you will see your CF card ready for partitioning. Hope this helps. - Bogdan Last edited by UncleSpam; 30 May 2009 at 19:38. |

Click on the HDToolBox icon once and choose Icon -> Information from the menu. In the new window click on new and enter ASKDEVICE there. That should do the trick
