Can't create floppy from ADF
I have tried making floppies from Workbench and other ADF's. I am using TSGUI and get no errors when writing to floppy. After TSGUI finished and the floppy is mounted on the desktop it says DF0:NDOS
From Workbench I format a floppy the same floppy and copy files to it and all is fine. I copied sysinfo and tsgui to the floppy and they run. Any idea? Is the floppy drive bad? Help! Thanks! |

did you made some test with dms archives? install, if not yet done, dms from aminet.
or test from ram-disk only, copy a packed adf image ( maybe something like image.lha) to ram: and extract in ram-disk. then write that adf to disk. can only test here in winuae, and i do not get any problems. using tsgui 2.2. and you can ensure, the adf image in questions is valid, standard dos disk? |

I found the problem. For some reason when I drag and drop the ADF or any file for that matter from the CD to the folder on my Amiga hard drive the files become corrupt.
If I open a CLI and copy the files from the CD to the folder everything works also if I run TSGUI from my hard drive and open the ADF on the CD it works. I don't understand why dragging and dropping the files to the Amiga hard drive would cause the files to become corrupt. |

Sounds like your MaxTransfer setting could be set too high on your HDD. Open HDToolBox and check all your partitions. The setting should be 0x1fe00 or lower.
If too high, it could corrupt large files. Some programs only copy with a small buffer, thus not causing problems, while others may read the entire file in one go. |

Max transfer is set correctly. Why would it be max transfer? If I open a cli and copy all the files everything works great. Its only when I drag and drop that the files get corrupted.
Thanks for the tip |

I found the problem. It's the way ASIMCDFS 3.9 handles rockridge extensions on the CD I burnt on my PC. I use ASIMCDFS 3.8 and no problems. Can make ADF's and TSGUI makes perfect floppies.
