I haven't used that program in a while, but I do
recall that you need to reboot directly to DOS and run it from the DOS
prompt. You can NOT run it in a DOS window. It is not necessary to
have a lot of 720K blanks if your disklavier supports 1.44M. Once you make
the copy, you can copy from that disk to your hard drive and keep your backups
there (very small), transfer them to a 1.44, and/or burn them to a CD-R.
Put each disk in its own folder. This also gives you the ability to
make a long play 1.44 from two or more other disks, a favorites disk or any
other combinations you might like. You can usually pack over 2 hours on
one floppy.

vault.
I am interested in backing up my Yamaha discs so that I can have a
copy just in case any thing happens to one of them. (Discs don't
always last very long.)
I noticed that there was a program called dkvcopy as one of the
disklavier utilities.
I tried using this software program to copy my sampler disc (just as
a test) onto a blank double density disc, and for some reason, it
just copied a bunch of garble.
Is it something wrong with my computer or is the sampler disc
different from a normal disc.
Also, my Disklavier WILL read high density discs. Will the software
support copying onto a high density disc?
Finally, maybe I am just parranoyed, but is there anyway that my
computer would accidentally erase a Yamaha disc? Are the discs copy
protected so that nothing can happen to them? They are expensive so I
just wanted to make sure nothing could happen to them.
Thanks in advance!
