Hard disk problem -> OS JJ problem or not ?

Hello, I just bought the HD kit : Akai-HDM10 and I installed
a Toshiba MK4025 GAS (40 Go) but it doesn't work : it hangs on
the flash screen of OS JJ ...

And the hard disk doesn't start...

Any help ?

By the way, do the "MPC big users" (hi "Nym", hi "rich_biatch"...)
here use Hard disks ? or Big compact flash cards ?

Thanx in advance
al

I would suggest....Disconnecting hard drive. Loading Original Akai OS back on. Then Format the hard drive from the Akai OS. Then load JJOS.

also make sure the drive is fully connected.

Format the HD with JJOS 3.08 or JJos1 Version4.xx

The hard drive is failing !

I will return the AKAI HDM-10 to the shop and buy a 16GB CF instead !
What do you think of the HAMA High speed CF 16GB (200x) ?

Do you usually prefer CF or HD ?

Both

it sounds to me like you gave up too quick. i've been using a hard drive with JJ OS 1, 2, and 2XL for over a year now with no problems at all. the problem could be the hard drive, the interface, something else inside your MPC, or a formatting problem.

the important thing to remember is whether you use a hard drive of flash card... ALWAYS FORMAT IT FROM WITHIN JJ OS BEFORE YOU USE IT!

this will save you a bunch of problems down the road.

My Thoughts exactly. You have to always back up your work also.
I keep a current copy of my Whole HD.

OP, you wanted to use that CF from the giddy up. lol
Check out that CF Mod with that HDM-10 Posted in the 1k forum.

I use Both HD/CF also. Been using the same HD that came with my 2500 for almost 2 years now.
