Re: [disklavier] Formatting

Good morning, everyone.

I've recently downloaded several MIDI files. When I tryed playing
them, my Disklavier rejected the disc as "not formatted". When I
format the disc on the Disklavier, my PC won't recocognize the
Diskalvier format and wants to re-format in order to copy the MIDI
files.

I'm working with an MX-80 series Disklavier and my operating system
is Windows XP Professional.

What am I doing wrong?

Bill, are you using double density (DD) disks? If not, your Disklavier is formatting high density (HD) disks as DD because it does not know that there is a difference. Your PC knows that the disk is HD but recognizes the fact that the format is wrong.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
