Congratulations on your purchase!

My HD had needed replacing, and I had a friend who had a 7G HD that 
he gave me.  I just popped it in and was running in less than 2 
minutes.  Of course it only formats and ercognizes 70M of it though.  
I am running OS 3.11 though, so maybe that is the difference?

Good luck.

> Hello ! I just purchased a SDX 7 piece system. It has 4MB Ram and 
no HD. I've since had a couple of weeks to get to know the console 
and most of the sounds. What I'd really like to have is a full disc 
library and also the latest OS. I wouldn't mind having a HD in there 
either. I installed a 500+ MB SCSI disc, but the SDX craps out during 
the format process ( probably too big ). I might try partitioning the 
drive in 20MB sections and see if that works. While the seller did 
include most of these discs, I am finding out that many of them have 
various issues. Luckily, I have OS 1.4 with fully functional backup 
copies. I also received a physically damaged 2.1 disc. Fortunately I 
was able to duplicate that disc to a new one. I have 2 copies of OS 
3.11, but neither are working. Can anyone help me in obtaining the 
complete library and any other discs I'm missing? I attached a 
picture that shows what inventory I have. Here's the details:
> A - These do not load at all. Most are drum kits and sounds. The 
factory discs are the blue and black ones on top. There are also two 
O/S 3.11 discs ( with no backups ) that also do not load. 
Unfortunately, the Bruford kits are also within these unusable discs. 
B - These are discs that have various issues. Most give the message 
of loading, but incomplete. Also have issues with sounds ( cut-offs, 
noises, etc. ). Some have only 2 or 3 sounds on them. C - Sound/Kit 
discs that appear to be fully functional. I will make backups of 
these immediately just in case. I've only tested these with the 
console triggers so far. D - O/S discs. All these appear to be 
working. While the 2.1 O/S disk had physical damage ( aluminum 
protector gone ), I was able to make a bootable backup copy. O/S 3.11 
appears to be lost and I will need to find a source for a new copy. 
Thanks for reading and let me know if there's any way you could help 
me out. I''m more than willing to pay you for your time, materials, 
and efforts. It is also possible that I may have files you might 
need. I will be more than happy to share. Thanks ! - Roland
