Putting OS on each Disk for Safe-Keeping

2006-10-15 by Ralph Stokes

I had a scare where I couldn't find my OS Disks.

What I am now doing is a precautionary measure, others may find useful.

I am experiencing the battery almost dead, and need to reload the sequencer operating system, regularly. I will get a new battery i the New Year.


My goal is for all my disks to contain the OS.

I copy the OS disk, then delete all, but the OS, SD60 internal sounds, and the 20 Internal presets.

This becomes my Master disk.

Instead of formatting a new disk, I copy this master disk onto it.

I end up with the OS on each disk, so I don't need to worry.

Ralph :-)

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
