I am having problems with my drive. I am using an Amiga 500,
and sometimes when I load up software on the system the
READ/WRITE error will appear for most of my disks as I
load them. Usually they load up fine, but once in a while
I will get this problem. My Amiga only has one drive (for
now anyway...) Could this be a problem with the drive or
could it be something else? Please reply by E-mail
if possible. Thanks!

I opened up the case, and put aluminum foil around the disk drive to act as a shield from the monitor interference. The only READ/WRITE errors I get now are from disks that are truly bad, ie: my external drive can't read them either. -Blaise
