Hey guys I'm a rookie to the forum, have tried to search but not sure I actually know what I'm searching for.

just upgraded from a 1000 to 2500 and after installing a HDD in the 2500 i have been having strange issues, when going into load screen the HDD spools up I'm getting a crackle through the main output, tried switching to the HDD from the 1000 and same issue.

Secondly when working on a project after having been to the load screen a bunch I went to the save screen and the MPC restarted itself.

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be or experienced anything similar?

I know that nobody will reply, but I am having a similar issue. Lately, sometimes when I go in to load/save screen and the hard drive is accessed, I get a very loud white noise-type constant signal that won't stop until I switch the MPC 2500 off and back on. It sucks! If, by any chance, anyone can help me, that would be very unexpected and very great!

I think he meant hard disk drive. Can you mount it on your computer and check for errors? Probably will require buying a new one if you're hearing noise from it.

There are some HDD to CF adaptors so you could switch out to a flash memory type of storage.
