Hello all. i Just got a mpc 2000. I bought it without the start up disk. I tried to download it from the net but everytime i put the disk in the mpc it says disk error. [i][b]Can anyone help me in getting this thing going?

You do need the startup disk, try putting it on another floppy. The one you used may be damaged.

Its mnh2410.

Try a FRESH NEW floppy disk with the unzipped OS on it. If that fails then your drive may need replacing. It can use the standard 34 pin PC floppy drives if replacement is needed.

You are obviously out of touch, yes the 2k classic requires a startup os disk, now go kill/hang yourself like you told that other dude to do.. :? ..

I never used a 2k classic you ****. And i dont remember telling anyone to hang or kill themselves. I have told people it is an option If they can't figure out thier machines.

I only said that cause you told that other guy in another thread a while back to do that to himself which I thought was jacked up cause he was just asking a simple question and you came at him like that.

As for the 2k classic, if you had read the manual (you probably don't care about the manual cause you don't use a 2k) you would have known that it needs a startup disk unless you go another route and place your startup os into your flash rom that you need to purchase separately.

Me, I have read all the mpc manuals and I look at them when I need to reference something cause I'm curious but so many os updates going around it's sometimes hard to keep up.

@ juxt, cool :D

@ Russell, did you ever get that startup disk going?

Try a new disk, download the os, unzip everything and ONLY place the files on the disk and nothing else.
