English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Files copied from CDs are getting corrupted

Computolio · 01 August 2006, 10:52

I'm working with an Amiga 500 with the 590 hard disk controller. I know the CD drive is good, as well as the CDs I'm trying to copy files off of. I'm using AmiCDFS under AmigaOS 2.1.

I've seen the problem crop up on completely different configurations before, but I'd like to solve it once and for all because it's driving me crazy. The corruption is easier to notice with larger files (especially compressed ones), and happens seemingly at random. It also seems more likely to happen when I copy a bunch of files at once with the Shift key rather than copying them one at a time.

Has anyone else been experiencing this problem? Is there a CD driver I should be using rather than AmiCDFS?
