UTILITIES /

SAVE O/S TO FLOPPY DISK

You may also use SAVE O/S to create a ‘boot disk’ so that starting the sampler up with this in the

floppy drive will boot the sampler up with your personalised settings. Creating a boot disk may be

useful to back up your settings but also if you are likely to be using another S6000 or S5000 and

you want it to have the same system settings and preferences as yours.

When you press SAVE TO FLOPPY, you will get this prompt:

As the prompt informs you, all data on the floppy disk will be destroyed - ensure that the disk in the

floppy disk drive does not contain valuable sound library or other data. As the OS is being saved to

floppy disk, you will see this display:

At the end of the OS save, you will be returned to the SAVE TO FLOPPY prompt shown above.

Press NO/CANCEL to abort.

When you boot from this disk, start-up will be slower as the O/S is loaded from floppy disk (it will

take about a minute to boot up). At the end, you will see the usual “Searching for disks...” and the

AKAI professional ‘welcome’ screen after which you will be taken to a prompt that asks if you want

to write the operating system to FlashROM. If you respond NO, you can run the S6000 from the O/

S loaded from floppy disk. If you respond YES, you will see the progress displays the screens

shown on the previous page as the O/S is programmed into the FlashROM (this process is described

on the next page).
