- I just bought an Amiga 500+, now I have a problem.
- The external drives give spurious writeprotects, when the disk is not write
- protected. This disables me from formatting or copying disks in the
- external drives. A problem that also occurs is that booting from external
- drive brings up repeately the requester :
- You must replace volume XXX: in drive dfx:
-
- I don't why this is, the external drives have worked fine for about 3 years
- connected to my old Amiga 500.
-
- Anybody got any idea what can be the problem ?
