MPC wont boot - no memory available error

now im a bit of a newbie when it comes to mpc's, and i thought id create an autoload project. i just wanted a bunch of programs to load when i turn it on - no sequences or songs. So i did everything it says in the manual, created an autoload folder and copied all the programs in to it and set it as the autoload project. but when i restarted the mpc to see if it worked it starts loading all the samples then i get a message that says ""Error" no memory available"". my only option is to press F5(ok) then it says its "initializing modes...." whatever that is. i left it for an hour and it didn't seem to be doing anything...

any ideas? im willing to reformat the drive (for the second time in 3 weeks on a brand new mpc) if i can get access to the drive somehow.

thanks in advance

The 5K has 64 MB of memory standard and can be upgraded to 192 MB. If the size of the autoload folder exceed these limits, I would expect some problems. Is this the case with you?

prob over the 64mb of ram, but it shouldn't ruin the mpc or make you take out the hdd to format.
does the CF slot take priority or is it the hdd?
worst case scenario would prob be removing the hdd & formatting it within a Windows PC

yeah i think it might be over the 64 meg limit. i dont have a cf card yet. if i get one do you think it would take priority over the hard drive and let the mpc boot?

thanks for your help guys. i restored the factory default by turning it on while holding down the erase button.

cheers
