but you have to format it on the mpc ,and when you hook it up to your pc ya have to format it again.
the thing is ntfs/fat versus mpcformat so its not possible to tansfer samples with your hd even not when you have a scsi50pins connector on your computer.
you can only store on hd from mpc

peace!!!!

Does the reformatting erase all info on the Hard drive?

whoa.

"I cant get my pc to read mpc formatted drive or the mpc to read from a pc formatted hard drive."

"Dont know why"

Probably due to the fact that PCs were NEVER designed to read MPC formatted hard drives and MPCs were NEVER designed to read PC formatted drives. No where in any Akai documentation is FAT16 or FAT32 HD compatiblity stated. The fact that it partiatially works under certain operation systems (obviously not yours) is really a fluke and never intended.

The information you seek has been asked and answered so many times, I am surprised the information doesn't bonk everyone on the head when sign on to the net.
