I have a slight problem. I have a version of Speris legacy (I don't know which crack though). I got pretty bored with the loading times from disk though so I tried installing it to HD which went fine.

So far so good. Problem is that whenever I had played the game next time I'd boot the Amiga from harddisk the harddisk would start working a lot more than on a normal boot. This made me a little nervous because the behavior mimicked the behavior I've regrettably seen so many times before when it scans the harddisk for errors because it had been powered off when suddently the Amiga harddisk refused to stop working even though it should be.

Usually the end result of such amount of activity would be a message with an error telling me the harddisk isn't validated. Of course it makes me a little nervous to play the game from harddisk because of that. But I was wondering. Is there a problem here which I've just been lucky enough to avoid for a good bit or is it just files which were temporarily stored which are being deleted?
