Whats up everyone. Well I try to make this plain and simple.... my MPC1000 is not acting right. (1)I can't load any samples through USB or CF Card. (2) I can't save anything on it. (3) Says file not found, file corrupted, directory error, etc.. (4) When I load a program and sequence, sometimes it plays the wrong stuff... I don't know whats going on. I have reformated the CF Card, I have done a factory reset, I do have plenty of free spce, and I disconnect and save and load everything the right way so I don't know. Basically I can't use my MPC because I can't do anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

1GB Flash Card, .3.08 JJOS, 128MB RAM, 1029 Files (Including samples, sequences, and programs), 682.3MB Card Free, 122.4MB Wave Free, 1664KB Seq. Free; MPC 1000 Blue.

Have formated the card atleast 4 times (On the MPC and on my PC) , factory reset 4 times, can not load data through USB Cable (It doesn't even show up as 'hardware connected' on my PC), can not load data through memory card (although when I insert the card on my PC it shows all my latest samples, just not on the MPC)

Just in case your wondering, I correctly load, transfer, save, eject, etc.. all my data/work when I'm done.

**Have had the MPC for almost a year and never had any problems

yeah try to reseat ur ram
try to format as fat and only put a couple samples on ur card and see if that works..

i had a ton of samples on my card for my 500 and i would be able to use it for about a half an hour then it would freeze up on me,,,come to find out,it was something in a sample that i downloaded,,,,i went back through and fixed all my samples and got rid of the ones i thought were "corupt" and ever since then it has ran fine...

im not understanding how you format in mpc and pc,,,when u format in the mpc,,then only the mpc can read it,,because its in a mpc format,,i have formated in my mpc and ended up throwing my cards away because i need them to be able to be read by my computer...hope u get it man!!

Alright, well tried all the above and no progress. When I tried to load a program & sequence it said 'wrong file'. Still unable to connect USB to PC. I have plenty of free space on my Flash Card (291MB). So I don't know what to do. I tried the 'factory reset' by holding earse while powering up but no luck. Is there another way to do a reset? Am I not doing it right? I don't know. Any additional suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you guys for help.
