Re: [disklavier] Yamaha Smart Piano disquette

2004-02-15 by Robert Welcyng

Because it is not a DOS diskette, you will not be able to duplicate the 
diskette using any DOS operating system copying programs.  You must use 
one of the special disk image copying programs such as one of those 
Carol recommended.  (dkvcopy is downloadable from this Yahoo site.)

Another option is to check with Yamaha Canada http://www.yamaha.ca/ and 
see if you could mail them the diskette and have them make a replacement 
copy for you.
