I dragged a directory into imgburn and burned a cd. Some games and stuff in .lzx format.

When i tried top unarchive them on my amiga 2000 lha reports "WARNING Skipping corrupt / extraneous data"

Also the file names are shortened.
 
What CD file system are you using?

I recommend AmiCDFS although also I have no trouble with IDEFix97

I am using the software which came with the Tandem IDE controller.


I think it uses IDEFix 97.

But could it be the way the cd is written ?
 
You could try just burning a normal windows CD and see if that works?

Are you sure the tandem CD is OK? Other Discs reading OK?

Maybe you are using an old driver, perhaps there is a newer one?

Lastly I burn my CD's with Nero (using Data Disc option) this seems to work fine (y)

Other disks seem to work fine. I have a cd32 compilation cd and i tried some games of that and they run fine of cd.
 
It must be something to do with how i am burning the cd's.

I dont have NERO and I dont think the Windows cdburning software is good (using WIndows 7)
 
Try using these settings in the Build mode of ImgBurn:

  • Options -> File System = ISO9660
  • Advanced -> Restrictions -> ISO9660 -> Folder/File Name Length = Level 2 - 31 Characters
These settings should work fine in your Amiga, but your file names will be limited to 31 characters in length.


Let me know if it works for you!

Sorry, it did not help me :(

I'm positive its not the CDROM drive and pretty sure its not the settings on the Amiga as like I said other stuff seems working.

Which tool are you using to try to extract the archives?
The standard lha archiver doesn't support the LZX format.
