English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Catweasel IV Plus - ADF writing on disk works but errors on real Amiga

I have very strange problem with my Catweasel IV Plus. I have written a lot of ADF images back to disks (over 40) but all of them contains errors. Verify on PC informs that all is ok (all the disks are free of errors when using verify).

On real Amiga X-Copy checkdisk informs me that disk contains almost only errors (error type 5 or 6). Only some of blocks are green but mostly red. Booting the disks works ok and most loads up flawlessly. On other hand all disks written with real amiga contains no errors when checking them

I have replaced PC disk drive but results are always same.

Settings on PC (Windows XP 32bit):
Catweasel driver version 2.6.0.0
Imagetool 3.2

Settings on Imagetool 3.2:
Disk: 3.5" Amiga Floppy
TPI: 96
RPM: 300

Disks:
Edit: Used REAL double density disks (new and old disks). So no HD disks in this case.

Tested with Amiga 600 and Amiga 500. Both disk drives works properly but X-Copy just informs of huge amount of errors for all disks written with Catweasel.
