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.>>>

Why not use WinUAE to create a new ADF file as DF0: and extract the DMS file
to that?

Please don't post queries such as this to comp.sys.amiga.games as they are OT 
there. It is a NG for discussing Amiga games - not how to get your emulator 
working or where to obtain warez from.

Points to Peter, Thats another way :)

Create a blank ADF file.  

Boot Winuae making sure the blank file is active in DF0:

When workbench loads, open a shell.

DMS write [File].dms to DF0:

DMS file is written to DF0:, which happens to be an ADF.  Then you can
boot that image in Winuae
