asr 10 error 040?? please help!

my asr 10 is giving me a fille error 040 screen. i put the disk in, turn it on,it starts to load the os and before the os finishes it says
file op error num=040. please tell me that this is because the os disk is corrupted not that the board is ruined. i read in the service manual that the error is related to a problem w/ the esp board. what is that? i just got the asr and i know nothing about it. i have tried the asr forums but they aren't organized as this one. please mpc-asr heads help me out! i cannot even find a description of what the esp is....

Do you have another disk with the OS on it? sounds like the disk won't finish loading... I don't have an asr but I had that problem on a yamaha sampler I had but it didn't display an error message, don't know what the message error number 40 or whatever actually means...

i appreciate the response but it is error 040 not 40 they are different. i have another os disk on the way but i am just anxious for answers. thanks.

@incurablebeatlust Hey did you ever find out the answer to your problem? I just got my ASR shipped in the mail across the country and I'm getting the same error.. I'm hoping its just due to the O.S. disk and not the board.

lol ... damn bumping a 9 year old thread !

good luck dude
