TROUBLE WITH LOADING SOUNDS TO MPC2000XL

I have a mpc2000xl, i just bought it recently, so the problem is kinda complex..
So i am running windows xp, and apparently u cant use the regular external zip drive for this OS so i went out and bought the USB version of the ZIP. After this i uploaded .WAV sounds and tried to put them in my mpc but tht didnt work so i read in another forum tht i had to put either .SND, or .PGM formatted sounds. So i downloaded AWAVE STUDIO 10.2 and converted some samples to this format...Upon doing this from my USB zip drive i put the now .snd file into the 100MB card and put that into my external ZIP drive connected to my mpc and it still does not detect it... ANY SUGGESTIONS????!!! need helpp baddd

it doesn't detect it? Did you format the floppy within the mpc? are you making sure the samples are not 24 bit? and you can leave it as .wav file the mpc 2000 is the one that only reads snd

Wav will read 16 bit PCM/FLOAT format WAV files, wont read any other bit deth or format, so make sure our converter is set to this, .snd are Akai formatted Sound Files, and the MPC will read this too. Format the disk in the MC, then make sure you load 16 bit PCM/FLOAT format WAV files

mad respects with the replies, so ive tried formatting the 100MB zip drive from the mpc but it still says SCSI conflict on id#6

I missed the part where you were getting a SCSI ID conflict message in your first post. You cannot run the Zip drive on ID 6 because the MPC uses ID 6 - the Zip drive must be run on ID 5 always. That will solve your ID conflict message.

how do i change tht?

AND wav samples MUST be formatted in PCM format, I cannot stress his eough. NO OTHER FORMAT WILL WORK!
I know, ive tried and tried with all 3 mpc's ive owned, and a couple others that werent mine.
