Debugging disk read/write issue

Post by telengard »

I'm using workbench 1.3.2 and was trying to print something and when it went to read or write the disk (not sure what it was doing), I got the following error:

'System Request'
'Volumne Workbench1.3 has a read/write error'

When the HxC is being accessed in this way I see a "RA" flash on the LCD.

Wondering if someone else has experienced this. I have a cased HxC from Lotharek and I believe am running fairly recent if not the latest firmware.

Use the hxc software and the track viewer to check your disk image.

Ok, I did that, not sure exactly what I'm looking for. All of the sectors of each track are bright green (i'm assuming t == track s == sector), but track 0 has a few sections that are sea green.

I found another image of the same version of Workbench and that is working better. But I'm having difficulty switching disks when prompted. The LCD buttons are just cycling between the disk in A and autoboot.hxe. It's not allowing me to traverse the SD. Is the use of the autoboot.hxe mutually exclusive with use of the LCD/buttons?

If you don't use the autoboot mode , just disable it with a normal cfg file.

I do use it to get started, and I was having issues w/ A-B drives w/ the Amiga so I would autoboot Workbench, and then try to use the LCD/buttons to swap to another disk. That was what I was having difficulty with.

To leave the autoboot mode, press the select/middle button some seconds. After this you can freely browse the sdcard.
