CD Freeze issues

[foleyjo]

Hi all

Nearly got my Amiga just how I want it but am having a problem with some CD's now.

It appears some CD's with a disc.info file lock up workbench.
It doesn't fully lock up. I can't open any icons but any apps that were open are still useable. I can also right click to bring up the menu bar but it won't let me select anything.

My current setup is
A1200 Viper 1260 64mb ram OS3.9 (Boingbags 1 to 4) AmigaSys 4(+update), squirrel scsi. 8gb cf card , HxC Floppy emulator

I have tried different cd file systems but they all do the same.
Any ideas?

bumping this up with the hopes of getting an answer and to add a bit of information.

It appears I was wrong about it only happening to cds with a disc.info on the root. It is mostly these discs that cause it but a couple seem to work without issue.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Franko the cd drive seems to sound normal. I also appear to have disc access I can even access the files on the disc and harddrive using an app like diskmaster even though the workbench screen has locked up.
I am just prevented from clicking on icons and using the menu bar.

Thomas I took your advice and started with a fresh install of OS3.9. That seemed to work. Then I tried a fresh install of Amiga sys and again CD's are working fine.
So I guess the problem lies within one of the boingbags.

When it was freezing I tried bypassing the startup-sequence and just using loadwb from cli. Still got a freeze. I also disabled the wbstartup folder again it froze.

I guess the next step is to install the boingbags and see which one causes it to freeze.

Glad you got it all working...

 please let us know the results...

Will do. Might be a few days before I get back on it though

It's boing bag 3 or 4 that causes the problem.

I have reinstalled sys os3.9 boing 1 and 2

No freezing. I can't be bothered installing 3 and 4 now it's all working
