almost each time i have a directory error or one time when i just tried to save a sample on my internal HD (Toshiba 80gb) my MPC just crashed on me. VERY frustratin after you put in all this work and you finally feel good about your beat. I hope the newest OS fixes the problem ( it has 2 ! ) i'll try it when i get home

[quote="Dannymon"]I know the 1000 is a good machine, I love it myself, but come the F...CK on! I've already lost Two projects Files and a bunch of samples due to this DIRECTORY ERROR BullSh.T.
This is more than a mere BUG. To me a BUG is something that causes malfunctioning, not something that makes you loose all your Fuk.ng work

How do you reset the MPC so it goes back to the first OS?


PS: I also think the cause for the problem is the new OS 1.02




AKAI DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]


hold your button where you turn it on and off and hold erase button at the same time , this should reset it back to its factory preset.

Yo, this thread is over two years old. I'm sure the dude knows how to operate his MPC. :wink:

Hey guys... this thread is from January 2004... there have been many discussions and workarounds about this problem since then... here's the one I use:

The method I use to avoid saving problems... It has worked 100% since I started doing it:

1. DO NOT OVERWRITE... Instead, delete the folder first. (Maybe copy the name of it first though to save having to enter it in a sec)

2. DELETE the folder (If this scares you, save a backup in a different directory or use the 1 2 method.)

3. Go back to the main save screen and "refresh" the disk by changing the SAVE TO field off of where you want to save and then back to where you want to save. This step may sound a little weird, but this is the way to avoid the problem that I heard a few people mention about "ghost files" or other improper directory displays. Personally, if I skip this step, then it when i try to recreate the directory, I will get an error and sometimes MPC lockup. It appears that by "refeshing" like this, it straightens out the directory problems.

4. Now you should be able to create a directory and save with no problems.

I've been having this problem recently and I'm using OS 2.10. I think I'll just have to use TBonus76's workaround.

Make sure you do a backup and format first so you start from a clean slate with no data corruption.

I have a song with a corrupted program, the MPC plays it fine, but I can't copy it to my computer. Any ideas how to back it up?
