Thank you for that advice. Yeah writing back to disk in Index mode did indeed work, and I was also able to re-image that backup disk I made, with the subsequent image also working.
I just wanted to ask some questions in regards to this and hopefully you can clear some things up for me:
Preservation of my own Amiga retail disks is quite important for me and I've read online that for true preservation it is best to image in splice mode for at least 5 revolutions (which I have been doing). Is this sound advice and does it have an advantage over imaging with single revolution Index mode?
When writing the image back to a disk you mentioned overriding and writing in Index mode. If I hadn't done that then how would the write and been made? If all my images were created in 5 rev. splice mode, should I be overriding in Index mode for all images that I want to write back to disk?
Sorry for the dumb questions, just trying to get a handle on things. The reason why I ask is that, if it is actually possible, I'd like the backup disk that I create to be just as good as the original to the point that even a working image can be made from the backup. Once again thanks for your help and am certainly glad I got this card.
