Did you load this file from Akai?
http://www.akai-pro.de/downloads/os/S1000v440.zip
or from here:

There is an EXE-File in it that makes an Akai Bootdisk.

This should be done under DOS, so Win2000, WinXP, Vista could block the 
direct disk access - but you can try ignore when windows warns you...

Otherwise you could try to use AllowIO/Porttalk Driver from BeyondLogic
http://www.beyondlogic.org that gives you direct access to your PC hardware.

The most elegant version is to burn OS 4.4 eproms and install it in your sampler so
That your sampler doesn't need the floppy drive - it starts with 4.4 from the eprom.
You can find the eprom image here:
