Try unplugging it from the outlet and let the piano sit for about an hour. Then power it back up. If you experience the same problem, your hard drive has probably gone bad and will need to be replaced. Bill iPhone On Nov 26, 2014, at 2:38 AM, Julien Roche julien.roche@...

Unfortunately your hard drive probably crashed. Do what Bill says and leave it unplugged for an hour. If the problem continues, have your technician send it to Yamaha in California and see if can be re-imaged. If not, it needs replaced, probably cost at least $750. The best way to prevent this, is to just keep the Disklavier unplugged from the wall when you are not using it. Carol Beigel

If you cannot gain a connection with the control center manually, you may have to do a cold shutdown (same as if power went out). I always try to shutdown properly if I have an issue. You can contact the service center in LA and they, or others in the group, may have better info.

Good afternoon, everyone. Julien, if it turns out that the hard drive needs to be replaced, I recommend that you replace it with an SSD drive and enjoy improved performance. I have never replaced the SSD in a Mark IV, but there are individuals on this list who have. Regards, PianoBench

Is it possible for an enterprising member of this list to sell ready-to-install SSDs for Mark IV instruments? Or do the drives include information specific to each individual piano that is added by Yamaha during manufacturing, i.e. information that must be cloned from the original drive or configured by Yamaha in a replacement drive?

The operating system, along with the factory installed music software need to be put on the hard drive. A hard drive on one Mark IV can be switched with another Mark IV hard drive - nothing unique to the specific piano. Easiest way (without a hard driver cloner) is to use Mark IV Rescue discs (3) and install them to the blank hard drive, with it in the piano. An older firmware version (v3.0) is installed. From there, you can update to the current firmware using Network Update. To do the rescue requires pushing a couple of buttons, in sequence on the IO Center. The Rescue Discs are created using 3 ISO files. I have the files and installation instructions, if anyone needs them. Send me a private email and I will give you links to these files.

In view of the drama that a failed hard disk drive causes, I think I will clone my Mark IV hard disk using Norton Ghost on my PC (I also have Linux Ghost which works with Windows 7). Can anyone say whether a solid state drive will improve the boot-up time – currently about 2.5 minutes. Kind regards Geoff

Easiest way (without a hard driver cloner) is to use Mark IV Rescue discs (3) and install them to the blank hard drive, with it in the piano. An older firmware version (v3.0) is installed. From there, you can update to the current firmware using Network Update. To do the rescue requires pushing a couple of buttons, in sequence on the IO Center.

Yes. However, I recommend that you copy the album from the floppy to the internal memory of the DKC-850. Then you can play the MIDI files internally and they will find the correct audio files on the CD. I recommend that you copy all of your floppies to the internal memory of the DKC-850, then remove the floppy drive and put your floppies away and keep them as backups.

Joseph, (not laughing...) you can use an off the shelf floppy drive with the DKC-850, but most cannot read Yamaha protected files (if you have Yamaha PianoSoft floppies, they are protected.)
Yamaha sells a UDFD01 floppy drive that works well with Yamaha floppies.
I have found two other external floppy drives that also work with Yamaha floppies:

Good evening, everyone. Mark, I am wondering if you have a mixture of double-density (DD) floppies and high-density (HD) floppies, all of which are formatted as DD disks. If so, that would explain why they used to work in the DKC500 xrg but may not work in a newer device. Many of the older Disklavier control units did not know the difference between DD and HD disks. Although I am not certain, this may be the case with your DKC500 xrg. If so, disks that were formatted in the old control unit would have been formatted as DD disks even if they were HD disks. Newer drives and operating systems, however, know the difference between a DD and an HD disk (because the HD disk has a permanent hole on one side). The newer devices look at HD disks and expect HD formatting and are stumped when the disk was formatted as DD. If this scenario fits your situation, use a piece of tape to cover over the permanent hole in the HD disks and try reading them again. Regards, PianoBench

For those needing it, here are instructions for formatting a HD or DD floppy disk to 720k. If the disk is HD cover the extra hole with adhesive tape. Formatting a 720kB floppy disk with Windows XP 1) Cover the square hole in the corner of the 1.44M floppy with a piece of tape (there should be two holes - you want to cover the one WITHOUT the write-protect shutter). If you hold the disk parallel to the floor, with the label side up and the metal shutter away from you, it will be the hole on the right. 2) Open a DOS window. (select “Run” in Windows 7 from the Start menu, type cmd into the box and press enter to open up a DOS box. 3) Type in the DOS command "FORMAT A: /T:80 /N:9" and press enter and follow the prompts. (Windows XP doesn't support the /F:720 switch anymore, but explicitly defining the number of sectors and tracks works just fine.) 4) This works with Windows 7 as well. Kind regards Geoff

Thanks Bill The most common solid state drives are 2.5inch SATA. I was surprised to find that my Mark IV has an old technology parallel (PATA) 3.5” drive. It’s easy to use a 3.5” to 2.5” converter bracket for mounting. But, which type of drive? Option 1 – find a 128GB PATA solid state drive – slow max of 133MB/s and not common. They also might not be available for much longer; or Option 2 – buy a faster (500MB/s) 128GB SATA SS drive and pair it up with an IDE to SATA converter board – not sure about the performance of such a board, but they are available. The speed is probably limited by the Mark IV interface to something less than 133MB/s in any event. Could you or any other reader who has done this please tell me which approach you believe is best. I would prefer option 2 if it is viable. Kind regards Geoff Ward

Its worth it. Everything runs faster and the IO Center is nice and quiet.

Thanks Bill. Probably worth it to go with SSD.
Kind regards

My Mark IV with a SSD drive boots in 1 minute 40 seconds.

In view of the drama that a failed hard disk drive causes, I think I will clone my Mark IV hard disk using Norton Ghost on my PC (I also have Linux Ghost which works with Windows 7). Can anyone say whether a solid state drive will improve the boot-up time – currently about 2.5 minutes.
Kind regards

The operating system, along with the factory installed music software need to be put on the hard drive. A hard drive on one Mark IV can be switched with another Mark IV hard drive - nothing unique to the specific piano.
Easiest way (without a hard driver cloner) is to use Mark IV Rescue discs (3) and install them to the blank hard drive, with it in the piano. An older firmware version (v3.0) is installed. From there, you can update to the current firmware using Network Update.
To do the rescue requires pushing a couple of buttons, in sequence on the IO Center.
The Rescue Discs are created using 3 ISO files.
I have the files and installation instructions, if anyone needs them. Send me a private email and I will give you links to these files.

Is it possible for an enterprising member of this list to sell ready-to-install SSDs for Mark IV instruments? Or do the drives include information specific to each individual piano that is added by Yamaha during manufacturing, i.e. information that must be cloned from the original drive or configured by Yamaha in a replacement drive?

Good afternoon, everyone.
Julien, if it turns out that the hard drive needs to be replaced, I recommend that you replace it with an SSD drive and enjoy improved performance. I have never replaced the SSD in a Mark IV, but there are individuals on this list who have.

Thanks. I will do that right now.
I am in Albania (europe), can you give me details where to send the hard disk for repair or replacement ?
Thanks again

Try unplugging it from the outlet and let the piano sit for about an hour. Then power it back up.
If you experience the same problem, your hard drive has probably gone bad and will need to be replaced.

I was out from home for one week then when I come back and connect my Disklavier Mark 4, the ON/OFF button still flashes after more than one hour and also the USER green button is ON (but not flashing)
Impossible to connect with remote ...

thanks a lot, first time in 4 years using this piano .

Hello all!
Eric is correct about the differences in the floppy drives... I had to understand the same differences when I replaced my floppy with the same upgrade that Eric used. And btw it was money well spent, as I love the convenience.
Cheers!
Scott
