How sly!

None of you actually answered him!

I too use Gemulator, and yes, you can actually use the real Windows Filesystem to store all your Files, but then, using a virtual HD can also sometimes be a better option, and I have setups, that use either one.

To format the HD, as if it was a real Atari HD, I have found, that AHDI v5 seems to be the only one, that works...At least for me anyway. and it can partition it too!

If you are still having trouble, then EMail me directly, and what I will do for you, is send you an attachment with AHDI on it, if you want!

What I think might be the best option, just in case, is I can send you a ZIPPED Virtual HD, with the correct version of AHDI for you... It wont be big, so dont worry!

I have found, that there are apparently 2 types of virtual HD - One seems to grow as it gets filled, and they can be only up to 32MB, but there are also disk images too, that stay a set size, and these are the better ones, as EVERYTHING seems to work on them...Even the older nasty programs.
