Jjos directory errors and jjos1 upgrade

Im currently running jjos free. If I try to reinstall free (im facing directory error warnings when saving), or upgrade to jjos1, will i lose any of the work that i have currently saved on my cf card?

basically will my projects play the same if i upgrade??

I've split this from the other topic. Please always create a new topic for your questions rather than tagging your question onto the end of an unrelated topic.

Directory errors require you reformat your disk using jjos, so back up the disk first and then reformat. Then put the data back, hopefully all should be fine. Do all this in jjos free. Just be aware that directory errors can just be a faulty disk. Plus some files may be corrupt already.

Jjos free projects load fine in jjos1

Apologies and thanks for the reply.

Do you mean reformat the cf card or reformat the actual mpc? as in reinstall jjos free?

thanks

You reformat the cf card, reinstalling the same OS will not change anything, the problem is the disk.

ok great.

final thing. any tips on how to reformat the cf? im not very good with this stuff.

so i tried formatting with the format button (duh!) but im still getting the directory error when i load that project back on and try to save new parts.

any other ideas?? getting desperate here..

Try a different card

just tried that there and no joy...

Im guessing this means the data is corrupt?

porblem solved. for anyone interested, the directory error was a file name with a space before it. so it was called " main beat" instead of "main beat"

i just deleted it from the disk and can save perfectly again.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for letting us know, I've not heard of that bug before
