Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hello
i have a s1000 and a s1100
and i have iomega ZIP and external Syquest

the problem is
when i try to open the drives(zip, syquest) on Computer (windows 98 
computer)
it says "disk not formatted"
if i DO format in computer, the s1000 won't recognize the driver 
and if i format in the S1000,  computer won't recognize the driver

what should i do??
i can do midi transfer but its way too slow for me
because i do a lot of chopping

im strugglin with this problem for like 6 month
please help me!!!!

You could Chicken Systems Translator Pro.
Six months of trying to do without the tool you need
is too much.
I tried all the free stuff and wasted my time. 
I know others may have had different experiences, but
that was mine.

PC won't recognize Akai disks, and vice versa. Two different formats. 
In my experience, the Chicken Systems Stuff will only take you half 
way, you'll need software like SoundForge to really get in and do the 
editing of individual samples. I use the SCSI transfer method to send 
samples, it can be tedious but never lets me down.

On an old Mac with Alchemy editing software you can
transfer via midi or scsi, edit , and create new keygroups
with full control of where the samples get assigned. I
really wish there was a modern day equivalent but for
old-school sampler management it's the bomb. 

I'll usually create my keygroups and programs with Alchemy,
then have the Akai save the completed programs on a zip.
Once on Zip you can make a disk image of it a burn it to an
Akai formated CD which you can then import into a
softsampler or have Translator or CDxtract convert to any
format.
