booting WB 1.3 off directory in WinUAE

boing_1000 · 22 August 2006, 05:12

Hey guys, I tried dragging and dropping the Workbench 1.3 files onto the hard drive directory and then tried booting off that directory and it didn't work. What would the command be to get all the necessary boot files onto the hard drive so I can boot off it?

Don't drag and drop, you'll only get the directories that have an icon that way.. None of the iconless stuff that's needed to get the computer started.

Boot from your workbench disk image.

Use the shell, let go of the mouse. :-)

copy sys:#? harddrive: all clone

Where harddrive: is of course the name or devicename of your virtual hd.

Also take a look at my guide site http://guide.abime.net/

Chapter 2 - Installing Workbench 1.3

Yes! That's the guide I was looking for! I had come across it months ago and I couldn't find it. Thanks!

One last question though. If I wanted to change the icon of the hard drive directory so it would look like the rectangle with the amiga checkmark on it, how would I do that?

disk.info in the root of the drive.
