New and troubled with emulation

Good evening, everyone.
I'm not new to the Amiga world, but until now I always used emulated systems built by someone else.
Today I finally tried to installa fresh copy of AmigaOS 3.2 onto a dedicated machine in WinUAE.
Everything is settled in order to work with an Amiga 4000.
All is working fine, I boot in the Workbench 3.2 from the Floppy images provided with the AOS3.2 Installation Disk.
My hard drive image is 4GB large and set as in the picture named Snap1.
Once booted the machine with Install3.2 inserte, I see the screen shown in Snap2.
I copied HDToolBox into the Ram Disk, changed the information in uaehf.device (the extension is enabled) and then read disk intormations and partitioned it in "System" (2GB) and "Work" (2GB) and saved the changes.
Then... nothing. I can't see anything more. Nor rebooting I can see the two partitions, so I'm unable to proceed. Any hint?
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: my WinUAE version is the 4.4.0.

Tick "Full drive/RDB" mode button. Without it you get single partition hardfile ("superfloppy") that can't be modified with hdtoolbox but which is usable simply by formatting it.

Ok, I tried and how I make it work. I'm going ot leave it written for good, it may be useful for someone else.


I selected "Full drive/RDB" mode button at first boot, then copied HDToolBox onto RAM Disk and modified Information to uaehf.device.
Read disk informations and created two partitions (2GB each), System and Work.
Rebooted the VM selecting "Commodore A600/A1200/A4000 IDE in Properties, then formatted the two NDOS partitions and installed the OS.
Many thanks, Toni!
