MPC 2000........WHAT THE ****!!!!!

HERE'S MY PROBLEM....WAS LOADING OLD DISKS INTO THE MPC AND IT WOULDN'T LOAD THIS ONE BEAT AND SAID "DISK READ ERROR"...FIGURED THE OLD DISK WAS SHOT SO I RESTARTED THE MPC AND PUT IN THE OS BUT IT WOULDN'T READ IT.....SO I TRIED OTHER OPERATING SYSTEM DISKS AND IT STARTED TO TRY AND READ THE SCSI PORT......SCSI1, SCSI2, ALL THE WAY TO 7 AND THEN SAID "INSERT MPC DISK" WHEN I ALREADY TRIED LIKE 3 OR 4, I KNEW ALL THE OS'S COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE CORRUPTED.......SO I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS THE FLOPPY DRIVE, SO I INSTALLED A DIFFERENT DRIVE, SAME THING, THEN I ORDERED A BRAND NEW DRIVE AND THE SAME SHIT!.........AND TO TOP IT OFF MY HOMIE'S MPC2000XL **** UP AFTER I TRIED LOADING UP MY OLD DISKS JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WITH MINE, BUT SINCE THE XL HAS THE INTERNAL OS IT STARTS, FUNCTIONS AND EVERYTHING EXCEPT IT WON'T SAVE ANYTHING, WE'RE LIKE "WHAT THE ****?"..............DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INPUT?.......AND IF SO WOULD I BE BETTER OFF BUYING ANOTHER MPC?

my buddy had a problem like that, it turned out the metal sliding part of an akai floppy was stuck inside his floppy and it thought there was a disk in there and didn't allow the floppy to read any disks.

since you swapped yours it doesn't seem like that's the problem. but worth a shot. heck your first drive for it, and disconnect your scsi (with bothj powered off and try the floppy.

damn son, let me know how it turns out

are viruses able to mess the mpc up? maybe thats a problem. . .
