Read CD-R in A1200
« on: January 04, 2003, 06:30:43 AM »
Hello,

I have a PC with a writable CD-ROM drive and an Amiga 1200 with a 2X SCSI external CD-ROM drive.  I want to download programs for my Amiga on my PC and then write them to CD and then read that CD on my A1200...

Well, I have WB 3.0, so I ended up downloading a program called  "AmiCDROM" on Aminet.  This allows me to read my CD's I made.  But, whenever I try to copy files from these CD's to my Amiga hard drive, they fail saying something like "Destination was deleted".

If I try extracting an LhA archive that is on one of these disks, some files will go through and others give I/O errors.  

I wrote the disks at 4X to ensure quality, even though my drive is capable of 24X.  I can read my disks fine in other machines and have tried several disks.  The same CD-Rom drive worked to read Video Toaster software on my A2000 not too long ago.

I am using Nero to write the disks, and tried using ISO9660 format with Joliet turned on and off, with short filenames, etc.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your responses.  I will first try tweaking settings with AmiCDROM, then AmiCDFS.  I am already not using Joliet when burning the CD's, but dont have an option for the Red Rock format, or whatever it was.  I'm already burning at 4X, which has shown to make the disks more compatible in the past.  Another thing I might do is to put the same file over and over again on the disk to see if it likes one of them at least.  If I could just get some freeware Internet software that didn't have 30 minute time out, I could just download these things instead.  (I am using Miami and AWeb, both have 30 minute limit since they are demos.)

Thanks,

Neofree

Thought you guys would like to know that I got this to work by using the CD Burning software that is built into Windows XP!  Believe it or not, it made readable disks, where as Nero did not!
