problems with saving on my 2000

hi guys.

i've been making my beats on a 2000 XL MCD for a while. I use to save my beats on a 1 GB CF-card. I just make a folder for every beat. and when I want to load the beat, i just enter the folder and load the ALL file and the APS file.

i had a MPC 1000, but I just did'nt like the feel of the sampler, so I traded it with a guy. I got an MPC 2000 (not XL), with 8 outs & the EB16 effect card, he also gave me a iomega 100 MB ZIP drive and some money.

the problem is:

im working on my 2000 (not the XL) these days, and I've just saved one beat. This beat loads automatically everytime i turn on the 2000 with the ZIP drive connected. I have to keep the ZIP drive connected, because the OS is on the ZIP drive, because, the floppy OS i have does'nt work. I know the same problem happens if I save in the root folder on my MPC 2000 XL, thats one of the reasons why I save in folders, so how do i make folders in the ZIP drive? can somebody tell me?


thanks.

I thought you had to make different partitions on the 2k classic instead of directories but I could be mistaken.

You are correct sir.The 2k doesn't/won't read folders but if you partion it it's more or less like having folders.You can partion to your liking but 10 10mb partions works the best for me.(but that's just how i prefer to do it.)

Peace.

what is partions? and how do i make partions? i dont have the manual.. yoyo

When you are in the format screen you'll see the partion on the right hand side.If you highlight it and scroll through you can partion the disk to however many partions you need.Like if you have A-J that means you have 10-10mb partions=100mb.

Well since you seem to have a computer you can download an origianl mpc 2000 manual right here:
