There is a PDF or Word doc floating around that describes the entire process, in exquisite detail. I tried to find it in the documents area of this group, but wasn't able to. Can someone help dig up the document I'm talking about?
In lieu of that, if you just go to the yahoo groups page for this group, and search SSD, there's a ton of information from all of thus that have done this already.

The new drive is a standard 80Gb Hitachi deskstar that was Data April 2008. martin at Yamaha installed the 4.2.3 software image and default music files. It’s too bad because my old drive had dozens of CD’a worth of music and handled of midi files.
I did get a kit at Central computer and it won’t be a problem to install the new SSD.
One question the Tech mentioned was that the Yamaha drive runs Linux and had many partitions. Going from the 80GB to a 500GB Drive is easy, but not knowing where to allocate the extra space for new music is tough.
If any one who has done a conversion knows who to setup the partitions correctly, that would really help.
My current plan was to just install the replacement drive load up some new music and midi files, pull it back out, take it back to the Tech who will try to figure out which partition received the new files.
If someone knows if the other method of just restoring from scratch with the floppies abs CD’s and a larger 500GB SSD will yield the space and the performance, I might just do that instead.
Many thanks in advance for the advice!
