There are several possibilities:

1. it's true, your transfer didn't work, try it again.

2. the ADF was already damaged when it came from the net, but this damage only affects the HD installation routine.

3. either the ADF or your Workbench is infected with a virus. Probably some incarnation of the Lamer Exterminator which does produce lots of read errors on floppy disks (it randomly overwrites blocks with the letters LAMER!LAMER!LAMER!LAMER!...)

I figured it out, the program I'm useing ( TEQUILLA) transfer's the adf to pcdisk, then transfer it back to amiga format on the same disk, without haveing to change disk's, whitch is whot I was doing.
