Dove, if you sounds or sequences did not load from the disk, your floppy may have had it. This same thing once happened to me. If you can get it to load, I would immediately save to another disk. Also what type of floppy is it? Try covering the hole on the bottom right of the disk with a small piece of tape, then reload. Hope this helps. BTW no disrespect to Cheech, but can we get that honey in the shorts back. She(it) was nice to look at.

Does it do it with all disks, or just this one? Did you try cleaning it?

Q) I'm having intermittent problems in accessing my floppies
Q) My AKAI is reporting that the floppy is not recognized/formatted but it works fine on another machine
Q) Can I replace my AKAI floppy with a normal PC floppy drive?
A) Unfortunately, like all mechanical "friction" devices, the floppy drive tends to fail after some prolongued usage. This is due to the head positioner (corkscrew / Archimedes screw) tolerances and due to dust/oxidization buildup on the heads (especially if you smoke and are in a dusty room or use low quality floppies). Intervening with a isopropyl alcohol and a head cleaner will seldomly help as the tolerances have become so large that the mechanism is not able to "go where it wants to precisely" anymore. If one insits, this can also ruin the data on a previously "healthy" floppy - so do not insist when writing to a floppy if an error occurs. Change floppy disk and try again and read the data back to check it's integrity.

Yeah, your floppy drive may have had it

Get a cleaning disk from Radio Shack.. most likely you should get a new floppy, luckily the 3000 takes a more easily available floppy than the 60.
