Can you post a link to the video where you learned that "formatting mean [save]?

Well, since that you have already formatted your card in your MPC 2000, just buy an external USB Card Reader for your computer. You can find them easily online if you search for "external USB Card Reader" at places such as eBay, Amazon, Newegg, etc.

The Akai Pro website has the MPC 2000 OS free for download.

Below is a link with more information on this process as this has been covered many times before.
