Connecting REAL amiga hd to winuae

darket69 · 03 March 2005, 04:48

I have seen on the board that some of you plug your amigas HD to your pb and use winuae to transfer files to it .. well im tryin that now .. my pc only has XP installed .. winuae works fine .... the bios detects the old 1gig drive fine .. but xp just hangs on boot .. would i be correct in asuming im doing something wrong or is this a job for the "mighty" win98 ?

IDE or SCSI? Wrong master/slave jumpering can cause freeze at boot.

For direct drive access you need Windows 2000/XP or newer.

Porbably the jumper setings, yes. I set mine properly before conencting it.

The drive is set to the default of master .. i am connecting it to the sata controller via a sata >ide converter .. should i try it on an ide channel with a standard cdrom lead ?

http://main.aminet.net/util/misc/Installer-43_3.lha is what you need. Just put it in your C directory and you'll be good to go.
