Disklavier

I haven't used this tool but the notes for DKVUTILS says that DKVCOPY will
only work properly under "real" DOS. Did you run the software in a Windows
DOS box?

Can your PC diskette drive damage a Yamaha diskette? I suppose it is just
as likely to damage a Yamaha diskette as any other diskette. In the old
days, it was common for diskette drives to place scratches on the surface
of a diskette especially if the computer system was operated in a dirty
environment.  I haven't seen this problem for a number of years now.

Can you damage the diskette through user error?  The diskette should be
write-protected. You can check this by examining the diskette write-protect
notch. It should be "open" (i.e., you can see through it).

I had a question about one of the disklavier utilities in the file
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!
