"No need to format"???!!! What are you guys on? Of course you have to format a new drive when you first install it in a system or the MPC won't even be able to see it!

And yes, use the JJ os. Akai formatting is (most likely) still broken with 2.11 as we're still seeing the "new folder bug" type complaints on here that were all over this group for the longest time until JJ corrected the Akai format code w/3.06. Don't risk it! There's no point.

thats great info thanks homies,

yo elektrik, cheers bro, i will definatly use the jj os,

but does that mean i should also format the cf card with the jj os too?

i suppose it would probably be safer...
