i'm no expert bu it could be a damaged file system on the hard drive or maybe a corrupted file or someting...try giving roland a ring and get further advice... i'd say erasing the hard drive would sort it but u don't wanna do that unless u have some way of backing up your stuff do u???

There could be bad sectors on the disk surface, in which case the disk will need to be replaced. Generally these companies do not assume liability for any information which may get lost during procedures like these.

A long shot might be to track down a product by Symantec called Ghost and use a PC to try to clone the information onto a different hard disk, it basically reads the original disk sector by sector and clones the whole thing.

they really should put a couple of hdd tools on there seperate from the man software for emergencies like this like scan disk and mayb even a defrag program... is the hard drive removable
