My roland vs880 is saying No Drive Unformatted

Hi, I have the same problem, do you solve the problem?

Yep... the hard drive is 80GB... so if you have 80GB of songs (not hard to do) it is full. Purge some off to make space. Those must be either long songs or have a lot of high frequency stuff using a lot of data to store them or a lot of tracks per song. For stereo recording two tracks using computer I chew up about 1 GB per hour. If you have armed more tracks this could really jump up... and these units may not be as efficient as the new software PC DAW's. I would recommend purging existing songs to a safe media and then reformatting/initializing the drive in the unit.

Return the drive. Buy one from a big chain electronics store and if the problem persists(meaning it wasn't just a cheaply made drive, but an Xbox internal problem), then return that drive and send your Xbox 360 back to the manufacturer (if it is under warranty, or cheaper than buying a new one)

the problem may come from the hard drive which means that it may have a virus like a computer or that the hardrive may have a malfuntion and cant be able to read to the xbox 360 so it is considered to buy a new hardrive and recover your profile/ enter xbox.com to get all the downloads that was on the last hard drive

you need to clear the cache. You can call microsoft at 1-800-4myxbox, and they will guide you through the process. It may take 10-15 minutes to do but you have probably spent more time than that being frustrated.

These can be very finiky regarding the CD burners.

I would suggest you visit the site:

Lots of info there regarding these issues.

AS I RECALL there are TWO different downloads and one will allow the burning BUT will not allow another feature to work. The site should have the info you need.

Here's a link to some VSTools that will allow you to rip your backed up tracks so they can be used in Reaper, Audacity, etc.

Does it do anything? Beep, Flash, Click, Whirr? Might be Power, cable, connector, Drive control IC, Motor, disc, servodata

If I recall this was the Zip and Sygate Killer from back in the 90's

Try formatting the drive. Plug it in. Open Windows Explorer. Right click on the drive and select format. This will delete all content off the player.

format the drive, re-load your files.
