Oh yes, I also had the same issue on my S1000 until I installed v2 eproms.
You didn't state which sampler you have or which version of firmware it's running. Make sure whichever model you have, that it's running the latest firmware. I noticed a massive difference in that my pc and scsi HD could play nice with the samplers after the EPROM upgrade.

Good luck, and please do let us know how you get on 😃

Hi there,

I have had this issue when I used a 20gb 20gb HD. It's to do with the drive being larger than the maximum the akais1100/1000- can format (540mb)

I could load and playback the samples perfectly on my s3000xl but not the 1100.

Since using the raisin monster and CF solution and 4 x 1gb cards (one of them a transcend) I have had no issues. So I'm not really much help, apart from I know exactly the problem you are having.
I would suggest using the latest eproms/firmware, and trying another CF card for starters.

Also, I could only get the CF cards to work properly after formatting them in a windows pc running a Freeware program called 'disk image' and a USB CF reader.

To set it up, I copied the image of the akai- arranged CF card using "disk image" and saved it to the PC.
I then wrote the image back to the CF card. Put it back in the 1100/raisin monster, and select "arr" to format it again. I then saved the TEST PROGRAM to the card, wiped internal memory of the default samples and program and raised them back in from the CF card.

That worked a treat on all 4 CF cards all from different vendors.

Hope that helps as I feel you pain and frustration😭
