you gotta use a compact flash reader... maybe you have one built into your pc... most new pcs have them. if not youll have to buy one. then download the os, put it on the lil bugger and load er up home boy!

Here you go: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820199011

$10 bucks. can't beat it. Just hook that bad boy up, plug the CF card in, Put the Akai OS (or JJOS 3.08--let's hope) on the CF card.

Once it's on the card, when you turn the MPC back on, hold the WINDOW button. It'll let you know it's found the OS on the card and if you want to install. Hit REC for yes and let it install. There you go.

happy cows...nice....

thanks you guys for the great info....for real.

I have a card reader on the way from new egg...
where do I download the jjos??...and how much $$$$

I am an old guy, yet a noob...with my mpc...

I really appreciate the help though.

I went to the akai site...and I cant find any os downloads.

where do I get it from...???..and how much does it cost.

The last thing I want to do is send it in to get fixed....no thanks!

From what it sounds like...you are all sure this opp dowload will work, right?
