Hello! My problem is that floppy disks written from an ADF via the PC are often failing - showing the guru meditation error, or a variation of #8000000B or just some other glitch... It seems like about 2/3 of the disks I write run properly.

I have used both the CF card method, using the software "EasyADF" and a CF reader in the side slot (from Amigakit.com), as well as Amiga Explorer from Cloanto using the cable. Both seem to work, it's just the disks don't always run. I understand old floppies go bad, but I dont think this is it. The ADFs are fine in WinUAE.

I have an A600 with a CF card as a hard drive. The machine is newly re-capped too.
I am using Kickstart version 37.350, and it says Workbench version 37.71 (but its Workbench 2.0 so I am not sure what that means). Up the top of the screen it says "1652576 graphics mem and 0 other mem".

There was an old post on this forum about a similar thing. (I cant link but its called "Amiga 600HS problems") But his problem seemed to be with WHDload and I'm not sure what that is. I am not trying to run anything from workbench off the HD, I'm just talking about running the disks. The games he listed as running successfully also worked for me. Most coverdisks and things work fine too.

Why is the A600 incapable of running these disks? Is the file transferring faulty or is the A600 itself running badly because of the hard drive? Any help hugely appreciated, and obviously I'm an amateur so please talk slowly.
