Can anyone help? The internal drive in my Amiga is playing up, and its 
driving me nuts. When I put a new disk in, the drive light comes on, but
the drive wont start working (ie start its slow, torturous verification)
until I refer to the drive (with a cd df0: or similar). This is slowing me
down considerably, and is the source of much frustration. Does anyone have
any suggestions as to what it could be?

Thanks in advance,

Anthony

(Its an A500 with 1 Meg CHIP RAM, and a Rev 6 motherboard, btw)
