The problem is format. The computer system doesn't understand the VFX-SD format. One time in high school I did a direct disk copy with dos and it came out perfect, but that was along time ago before microsoft buggered it up with MS-DOS.
I don't think the SD-1 format is the same as the VFX-SD OS or I would offer to copy mine and send it to you.
