Hey all.

I'm hoping someone knows the answer to this one.

I've now got myself armed with a GW. I've had some great success with it over the past two nights, but i've also had some failures too. I'm running at about 50% success rate.

Some of the disk content i'm scraping seems to be good. It works on Amiga Forever emulator on the laptop from the .scp file. But if i try to write that back to disk using GW, the result is unreadable by my Amiga. Why is this?

Is there some special settings within GW you need to set for certain content to be successfully read on the real machine again?

I've already tried many permutations of settings (not really understanding what they all mean of course, and can't seem to find an explanation on all the settings anywhere?!)
