But you don't need any "shutdown" system like on pc or mac. That's one beauty of Amiga.

@SWOS:
First make sure the disk you are going to copy from is write-protected (you should be able to see through the hole in the right corner). Now try to make a copy - you cant screw anything up as the source disc is write-protected, so dont be afraid to try everything you feel seems right. X-Copy is not that unlogical. |

Make sure you're using DD - double density disks in your A600. If you're not you might have problems formating them. The easiest test is whether there is a similar hole like the write protect hole, but on the other side of the diskette. No second hole, DD. Additional hole, HD.

Everyone says that, but I just put a bit of paper & tape over the HD hole and they work fine.

It depends on the drive. Older DD drives are not able to magnetise HD disks precisely enough. Anyway you should verify the data after you have written it and you should not rely on the disks for a longer time.

If you say so. I have HD disks written as DD dating back to 1996 that still work.
[Checks collection] I have some DD disks written as HD disks (extra hole drilled in one side) for my SuperMagicom (Snes cartridge emulator) dating back to 1992 which are intact. |
