[b]How do you upgarde the O.S. for a MPC4000[/b]

I just bought a MPC4000le. I'm not new to the MPC's. Just need to know if I need to format the new hard drive again that I been working off for a few days when I try to upgrade the O.S. to 1.71 . Will it corupt any samples, programs, or sequences that I already saved to this hard drive. Is 1.71 the best O.S. to date to use? If possible explain how I will do this process. I do know that I can download the O.S. from akaipro.com. Thanks.

Use 1.70. 1.71 has bugs. My 4000 locked-up for the first time ever in two years under 1.71. Lost something important. Brings a tear to the eye.
Anyway an easy way to do it is to download the OS from akaipro.com. Save the file to a cd-rom. Put cd-rom into the 4K. Go to <load> page. Select <CD-ROM> Select the file 1.70. Hit <do it> follow direction on screen. Simple.

he has the le version no cd rom

use 1.6!
OS 1.70 is buggy too!! OS 1.70 gave me the black screen of death yesterday

Hey thanks for the info. I'll get the 1.70 O.S. I think this one has 1.40. So far so good but I don't want to stick to this O.S. I already added a 80gb hard drive, Cd-rom, usb floopy, and usb zip. So really it's no longer a LE. Actually I'm looking for Another MPC4000LE (one for the studio and one for home ideas) I have two MPC2000xl's that I'm about to put on the auction block. Would love someone to trade a 4000 for two 2000xl's. Wishful thinking. Word.

Man now I see a new post that 1.60 O.S. is better.
