Joel, I can send you links for the 3 ISO files to do a RESCUE. Each of these need to imaged to a CD. You will also need an update floppy. You probably have one of the floppies from a prior update. You will need instructions on how to perform a RESCUE, which I can supply. If you would like them, let me know.

It was play great until I updated it after which it couldn't read any of the music files and would routinely kick the PRC-100 offline. I am guessing that the drive was on the edge and the heavy writes required by the update did it in. I have pulled the drive out of the Disklavier and am running recovery software on it now. It has found several bad sectors across a few of the partitions on the drive. Of course I hadn't done a backup of the music we have on it (stupidity on my part for not treating like the computer that it is) and I don't believe we still have all the disks to reload it (retired Navy with 6 moves with the piano). I am trying to figure out the partition structure on the drive. There seems to be 9 partitions. Does anyone know what the various partitions are for? I know it is a Linux operating system so it has root and swap partitions. I also figured that one (believe it is partition 9) has all the music files. I am hoping that the recovery software can read the content and move the bad sectors. If not I have to figure out how to get the 3 recovery CDs and reload the system. Any help with how to get the recovery/installation CDs and do a fresh system install would be appreciated. The good part of this is that I have learn a lot more about our Disklavier and found this group. I am also using the opportunity to replace our drive with a SSD and make a clone. Thanks, Joel
