Can't save more than one project at a time.

I really appreciate the help that I've gotten from this forum. I have one more question and I think I will be done for away. I have a mpc500 with two cf cards. I use one for samples only and the other for projects. My problem is that for some reason I can only reload the newest project even though the other projects are listed on my cf card. And when I go to load those projects the display shows the samples being loaded but after that no sound out the sequences and no sound on the pads for the samples. I can get the newest project to load and play. I use the same procedure to save and load everytime. What I do when I have some samples, tracks, and sequences that I want to save and work on later. I take out my sample card and put the project cf card that I have. I first go hit mode-save and scroll to save entire memory project and hit do it. And then I name the project and hit do it again. The display shows the samples and everything being saved. When I want to load the project I hit mode-load and scroll to project and find the one that I'm looking for and hit do it, and hit do it again upon the "will clear memory" display. Why is that only the newest project will load correctly and play? I've read the manual over and over and can't seem to fully understand this process. Any help would be much appreciated as usual.

Are you saving the projects all in the same folder, or are you creating a new folder for each saved project?

If you create a folder for each saved project you may avoid this issue. I had the same type of thing happen to me. I just add a number to the project name (beat 1, beat 2, beat 3) each time I save the project even though they all have the same samples/elements. This way I can cycle through previous revisions if need be

Well I don't think I'm saving them to a new folder actually. I believe what I'm doing then is overwriting the last project since it is in the same folder. Would it matter if my projects had different samples and patterns in them. What I will try to do is create a new folder for each project and see if that fixes my problem. It should I hope. Thanks for the help.
