Adding hard drives to WinUAE on a running PC with WinXP
Like i said in this thread, one can easly (... ) add/remove hard drives on a running PC, and make the WinXP see them by clicking on [Find new devices]. Still, WinUAE only sees those newly added disks, only when the XP gets booted with'em.
I mean i've wanted to easly "manouver" (remove this one, add another one) the type and number of disks in WinUAE... not only WinXP Could there something be done? PS: Yes i know... doing it on a running PC is something really stupid, and i'm not responsible for any damage someone else will do to his/hers PC trying it Last edited by Shoonay; 20 January 2006 at 09:46. Reason: ow... the excitement.. |

I had some problems to understand your post on the first read, but with the P.S. i have a clue now. You want to change the diskdrive of a running PC, right?

Sorry, being overexcited with all the USB to IDE interface stuff...
No, i mean adding amiga formatted HardDrives that could be seen in WinUAE. Adding'em "physically" is easy... (yet dangerous). But i can't see it WinUAE then... I'm worried if i'll add a HD on the USB interface, i'll also be unable to see it in winUAE Forgot to mention that too... |

Are you using the -disableharddrivesafetycheck switch when you launch WINAUE?

If the drive is amiga formatted, they should appear in winuae without problem.
On the other side, are you trying to put/quit hardware while the machine is up? If it's yes, then you could end blowing many things up. |

Yep, lost my 40 GB (!) hard drive that way.
Had a problem on my old PC with a non-100% working drive, which, when (un)plugged would make the frozen system continue, sometimes saving lots of my document work. HOT-(un)plugged (stupid me!!! ) the defective drive, plugged in same drive (80% full), touched some wrong contact in the fu&$ing dark ==> KABOOM. Mechanically it's still OK, but the circuit board was gone forever. |
