I used to get this on my A500, also when I bought a brand new A2000 it
wouldn't work on that. When I fitted a second internal drive, which actually
replaces DF0: and the old DF0: becomes DF1: Xenon will sometimes work now
but still crashes occasionally. I am totally discusted and will NEVER buy
another Psygnosis or BitMap Brothers games again and thats a promise.
I have experienced NO PORBLEMS with any other software.

It seems that the boot stuff on XenonII is VERY VERY touchy about the drive
it boots from. On my A500 it wouldn't boot. But if I connected a TEAC
drive as DF0: it would work every time...

You could say that it is therefore the drive but thats not true as the
standard drive isn't TEAC so ....

Its a brilliant games but I very rarelt bother to get it out of the box
because it probably wont load anyway. 

P.S. My Curreent amiga is a B2000, it is 3 months old with 1.3 roms etc.
Xenon will only occasionally work on that too.
