  • Created blank.adf with WinUAE 3.4.0 (it was pre-formatted with bootblock and FFS file system) and copied to USB stick
  • Copied X-Copy (1993)(Cachet).adf to USB stick and booted it on a 1MB A500 machine with Kick 1.3
  • "Killsys" command in X-Copy, then used DOSCOPY option to clone X-Copy itself, whole disk read in one session
  • Wrote disk to blank.adf without any errors
However, after it finished copying I clicked DISKINFO and it would still show up as BLANK, 99% empty. Rebooting the system from this disk does nothing, the hand appears.


Likewise, copying files to a blank disk in Workbench seems to work fine, then after reboot the disk shows up as corrupted NDOS.


Sadly I don't have any more USB sticks lying around currently, but I might go buy some more on monday. Any suggestions which particular model / brand I should get? Anyone else experiencing this?
I like the Lexar USB3 Jump Drives, I tested S45 and S75 in 32GB size.

Thanks for your repro steps, I will try them myself, will be around a week's time however.

EDIT: Given Higgy's repro below, seems little point in you trying other USB sticks. Wait for me to investigate.
