AmigaOS 3.9 problem

[divined]

Hello everybody

I`m using AmigaOS 3.9 under WinUAE. Whenever I start the emulation I get the error :

Intuition is attempting to reset the Workbench screen. Please close all Windows, except drawers.

Sometimes, by closing one or two message windows the Workbench indeed manages to get the screen to a workable resolution & depth screens. Other times I just can`t get it to work.

Any ideas on why I`m getting this error on every reboot?

Exactly, I also get the warning window :

Cache:CDFS Cannot open cdrom.device unit 0.

I`d used that unit to install the OS in the first place. I`ve now placed another cdrom but Workbench doesn`t seem to recognise it. What can I do about this?

[update]

I didn`t use an emergency disk. I just extracted the archive on the volume I eventually installed. Is that bad?

  I`m using WinUAE. The fact is that after removing the error message (clicking on cancel if I recall correctly), I can place the AmigaOS 3.9 installation cd and read it.

  Nonetheless, when I press eject (the eject button of the pc cd-rom drive) and try to insert any other cdrom I cannot see the contents.

So? What am I doing wrong after all?

 I`ve selected the uaescsi.device under the misc options. I also used the Nero ASPI layer. I`m running under Windows XP.

I only wanted to try the OS out. I`m not gonna go buy a OS that I don`t find functional. That is why I`m using WinUAE!

  Sometime later I just might buy myself a Pegasos based system. I`m just looking at what exists out there.

  So why did you buy Windows ? There is no demo version available, either. How did you know that you'd find it functional ?

It all stems from 10 years of Windows experience. You know that your cdrom or DVD-rom will play as soon as you insert it in the drive.

  Until I`m sure I like it, I`m not buying! Guess I`m on my own!

  ok. guys. I`m gonna buy myself a copy of Amiga Forever. I think that package comes with a legitimate Kickstart version and the OS.

  Just don`t jump to conclusions. I`ve bought my pc software. I just wanted to try it out before commiting myself to this purchase.
