I have a Vintage Cart grand recently purchased. The dealer put a new disk drive in when I bought it (Yamaha) so I new the drive was ok. But when I bought a batch of DD disks, they wouldn't format. I discovered that if I format the disk on a w98 computer to 720 mb. And then use explore (one of the dk tools) (do a search for disklavier tools) or just ask Carol Beigel on this site where to get them. Sooooooo. Open explore, point it to the floppy drive (with your 720mb formatted disk in it) and open it. You will see a file called PIANODIR.FIL with a red cross through it. Right click on the PIANODIR.FIL and choose create index. It will create it. That's the job done. Put the disk in the DK and it will now see it and work. Why on earth the DK won't format the DD disks which I made the extra effort to source... I don't know. But anyway... It is best to format them on a computer anyway because that way you will be able to see the disk on the computer.. Make backups.. Convert them to midi files etc. OK... I've just done search and couldn't see them. I've got them but I don't know if it's legal to pass them on. Is it ok to do that Carol? The zip file is only 25k big.

Much appreciated... What is this "DK tool" (i.e. I still can't get it) for? We want to try if windows 98 can read the Yamaha floppy which is formatted 720 mb? It can be read, then there is problem with the disklavier disk. If no, there is problem with the floppy disk? Thank you.
