I had this issue for weeks and finally fixed the problem and figured I'd Share. The problem was my MPC recognized the internal drive and so did the PC but I could not transfer files from the PC to the drive and then load the sound from the drive to the MPC. So.....

I used MPC Editor. I have an 2gb internal drive hooked into the internal scsi port then I have a usb to scsiII connter from the MPC to the PC. The issue was the MPC editor would not format the drive as the PC recognized the drive as a fixed drive and the editor will only format removable drive. I was persistent and basically tricked the PC to format the drive. I put a travel drive in my usb slot and the PC and MPC Editor recognized it as removable storage. I took the first step and used the xp formatter on the editor software. Then when the editor prompts me and ask if I was sure I wanted to format the drive, I took out the travel drive and re-connected the fixed drive via usb.

Walah. The only thing that confused me was it added 2 strange files to the disk

mansell.r and credit.to.

No clue what they are. Also the drive is 2gb but when I go to the manager in xp it shows it as a partioned drive with only 29mb. Can't complain .......enough to transfer the wave files like I wanted. Thanks.

Also I am still having folder issues. I can make a folder but when i try and open the folder the machine freezes and puts all these random numbers on the display. O well. I love the sound transfer and the fact I don't need to use disk

So you're running a drive to your pc and directly connecting your mpc to your pc? That's crazy I would have never thought it would work.
