Hi all,

I'm trying to upgrade to AmigaOS 3.2 in an emulated A1200 in Amiga Forever. I have plenty of space on the SYS: volume, labeled Workbench3.2: (it's a 1GB hdf with only the OS installed). I have the contents of the CD on a read-only virtual hard drive.

I double-click the AmigaOS3.2CD:Install/Start Here icon, then launch the installer from the Install3.2: volume it creates. Go through the options, it gets to its first step (copying icon.library) then it throws up a requester saying "Volume Workbench3.2 is write protected". Retry doesn't work.

Information... on the Workbench3.2: volume says it is Read/Write. list says everything in it has rw-d or rwed flags. Amiga Forever says it is read/write. I can write files in memacs and save them to the volume, and then delete them from the CLI. Only the installer thinks it's read only.

Anyone encountered this and got a workaround? Thank yoU!
