What CD filesystem were you using. If using 3.1 CDFS
then there is the problem, it is crap. Try AmiCDFS
from Aminet instead - its much better than 3.1's effort.

You have to be careful copying Amiga CDs on PCs as the
filesystems are slightly different. PCs use ISO9660 + Joliet
while Amigas use ISO9660 + Rockridge. You must change the
CDR settings before making copies of Amiga CDs.
