The problem im having when I try to load the cf card it freezes the entire system and does not display any files, I have tried reinitialize, and turned on off a few times and it keeps doing the same thing, just locked on an empty memory card screen the only way to get out of it is to power off. Im running 2.0 operating system, everything been good up until today when i tried to load program. The memory card loads on my pc without any problems. Does anyone know how to fix this.

you may have a corrupt file on that disk.... maybe

What i would do... Backup the files on the card to the computer, format the card, try some new files on the card in the MPC, if they work ok, then i would try to put the backup files back on the card... if it acts up again, you probably have a corrupt file in those set of files that you have on that card that needs to be replaced or taken off

Second that and also while you got the files on the pc. Connect the mpc5k with the usb and make a folder on the mpc5k's hard drive with your pc. Put all the files you got off the cf card into the folder on the mpc5k's hard drive. Disconnect or break the usb connection between the pc and the mpc5k. Now load each file one at a time from the mpc's hard drive to the mpc's memory, until you get to the conflict file that causing the trouble. Make the usb connection again to the pc and delete the bad file from the folder on the hard drive. Disconnect the usb and try to load the whole folder at once into the mpc memory. If it load without problems you still have most of your work. Unless it was a bad project, sequence or program file. let's just hope it was a bad sample file.

Another things to do when saving your work. Save work on the hard drive and save on the cf card. That way if the save data is corrupt on the cf card. You got a chance to load it from the hard drive or vice versa and you haven't lost anything.
