Title: Cd reading
Post by: dac on March 10, 2003, 11:09:11 AM

Hello,
I burned a CD-R (on my P... with Easy CD Creator 5 , ouh shame!!!!) with a lot of softwares from aminet  but my Amiga 1200 is not able to read him. Under HDtoolbox, my Amiga tell me the capacity of the CD-R but don't want to show icon. I have a 1200/030 with a squirrel and a old 4X CD reader SCSI. What can I do?

Firstly, lift your coffee/tea cup and place the EasyCD install disk under it. It's about the only use I could think of for that piece of #### program.
Next, find yourself a copy of Nero (preferably v5.5.x) and install that instead. It's a much simpler program to use and makes truly compliant CDs.

You should have some CD filesystem installed first, as this doesn´t come with the OS. Can anyone clarify wath files needed. You can transfer them to your amiga with floppies.

Yes, the OS does not recognise CD-ROM drives by itself. You need to install a CD filesystem and create a mountlist for the drive.

Get AmiCDFS from Aminet. The manual should describe what is needed to do.

EasyCD Creator burns using the packet writing filesystem UDFS. No Amiga filesystem supports this.

Dump EasyCD and use Nero to burn your CD-R the standard way.

well i use easy cd 5 platinum and have never had any trouble with my amiga reading the mulit-session disks i produce.

I use OS3.9 and a powerflyergold.  I must admit I dont agree with  the others I find easy cd 5 plat much better than nero, if u know what u r doing.

I have burned CDs with EasyCD Creator that can be read perfectly fine on my Amiga (using CacheCDFS with OS 3.9).

However, I also think EasyCD should be dumped, and go for Nero.
