I clicked the list pc drives at startup check box and when I go to boot a
dms file through the floppy thing I go Amiga dos. What do I do now ?





I dont know about Xdms, but I think thats so you can access the DMS
files in Billblows.

What I do is to boot up in Winuae, with the drive in question listed
as a directory, or "List PC drives at startup" and use amiga's DMS to
extract to a Ramdrive, and recompress them as ADF's.

DMS Write [file] to RAD:

or something close to that.

Then, once in ADF, Winuae can boot those disks.

You can only boot from a floppy in Winuae if its an ADF.

You need to convert the DMS to ADF.

There are utilities on aminet for that task.
