How do I respond to 'os not found insert card with the os then restart the instrument' message?

You didn't tell us what instrument you're talking about, so we can't be specific. Your best bet would be to contact the customer service department of the manufacturer.

I have the exact same problem. All my flash cards worked fine, and all of the sudden, none work. Not even the one that came with it. I am still trying to fine the reason. I bought it eight years ago, that might be it.

The card MAY be the wrong format for the unit. Also the maximum size for a CF card in this unit is 4Gb. Check that yours is not bigger than that. There has been SOME compatibility problems of flash drives... try a different brand.

from the akai forums:


to set the os back to factory settings press and hold the erase key till the mpc has booted to the main screen.

to erase the harddisk goto either the load or save screen and then choose utility - there you will find the option to format the hdd.

you can also format the drive (or any inserted compact flash-card) from your computer thru the usb connection, but it is recommended to use the internal format because the mpc can be a little picky when you format it from the outside.

at first i would check if there is any folder or the internal memory is set to autoload and just turn that of or point it to another folder of you choice. that way you can keep the factory delivered sounds. maybe you want to use them later, even if it is just to explore the mpc. the factory sounds can be also downloaded later, but be advised that there are different iterations of the stock sounds, depending on whether your mpc shiped with a 32 or 128mb compact flash card.

also the mpc os is not on the harddrive but in the internal memory. to check the version hit mode-> pad10. latest official version is os 1.24. if your main srceen looks different than in the manual check double and triple before you do anything, because the previous owner might have installed the third party jj os which comes in different versions. some of them cost a lot of money! if you find this check the other forum here for the alternative os.

hello Shan Khy11,
Good day!Try install back the driver components of this Device or update the software,try to see if the conflict is in your OS or on the Hardware.

The sound file has used all available space on the memory card. Either put in a different card or purge the sound file(s) on the card so you can record new files.

Hi. Not sure you still are in need of a solution but since my machine was doing the same thing last night, and I was able to solve it, I thought I'd post anyway.
For my machine, which has a more current OS than yours (mine is 2.20 I believe), I was receiving the same message after transferring material onto the computer. What needed to happen was to reformat the card. If you press "menu", the click on "file" you should have an option to reformat the card. It worked for me and it now works.
Hope that helps!

If you flashed a bad OS, the unit MAY have to go to the factory to be reloaded.

Go to VSPlanet.com and see if someone there might be able to help.

Refer to your BR manual for procedure to format the card. Formatting the card in a PC just doesn't cut it.

Look in your index in the manual for "formatting" or "card"...etc.
