External Zip Drive/2000XL Troubleshooting

I have recently bought a external 100 MB zip drive to load my samples into the MPC 2000XL... I found out right away that the files must be added onto an MPC formatted disc. I was also told by Akai Support that I would have to download the free version of Chicken Systems Translator Free in order to drag my .wav sample files onto the zip disc, placed in my internal zip drive in my computer, then transfer the disc to my external zip drive hooked up to my MPC. I have done this, however upon first downloading Translator Free from Chicken Systems, I encountered problems dragging the files onto the Zip disc partition. I called Chicken Systems Technical Support and was told there was an error and they would work on it. They have just released a new version of Translator Free this month and upon using it I encountered another problem. It first says, upon dragging files onto the zip disc partition, that the disc is full and not enough memory left, but in actuality the disc is empty and the files I am dragging are not close to 100 MB. After the initial drag that gives me that message, I attempted another drag and the error message was different saying there was a non fatal internal error... I am wondering what I can do about this as I cannot keep using the floppy drive because it takes much too long to get samples together and then the floppy discs often become unreadable. Is there any translator for zip discs besides Chicken Systems? Please let me know how to resolve this issue, my work is suffering...
thanks in advance.

Why not just format on the mpc and send them to the zip via computer.You don't need Chicken sys to do that and you don't have to drag and drop.(but you can)

Peace.

Never tried that, I am about to do just that and get back to you.
thanks homey

Ok, I tried that, and the problem is the PC doesn't recognize the ZIP disk if it is formatted by the MPC. I tried a Zip disk unformatted by the MPC and I can open files and play complete MP3s that I have on them. However when inserting the MPC formatted Zip disc, it is unrecognized and the PC says 'Insert disk into Drive D' when attempting to either open said disk or drag files directly onto Drive D(zip drive) in 'My Computer'. So I am still stuck, that is why one needs Chicken Systems, or something similiar I think, because Chicken Systems recognizes it as a Zip Drive and Disc and gives it a partition in which to drag files...
