The damaged drive is still being recovered (slow process) but I am wondering if it is possible to copy the salvaged music files from the old drive to a new rebuilt drive. It appears that the music files reside in the Home partition but I am not sure how the system determines what music is on the disk for both the player and the PRC-100 menu: database system or file structure in the directory? If it is directory/file structure I think that I should be able to copy all the salvaged files over directly and they should work. I also remember reading that the pianosoft files might have some kind of DRM structure? Are there any additional folders/file that need to be copied over to allow these to play on my replacement drive? Is there another/better way to move the music files from the old drive to the new rebuilt one keeping in mind that the old one does not give me access to the music files when in the disklavier? It looks like the first section of the Home partition is where most of the bad sectors are so I am thinking that the system can see the partition but can't read it even though there is data on there. Using my recovery tools I can see most of the music files as they are saved on the disklavier's drive and could pull them over directly or put them on a USB drive and then possibly install them through the disklavier interface. Any insights or recommendations are appreciated.
As a side note:
I originally thought that there were 9 partitions but in looking through the drive structure I believe that there are 6 physical partitions but that when the system installs it appears to numbers them:
BOOT =1
SWAP=5
ROOT=6
DATA=7
VAR=8
HOME=9
HOME being where all the user information resides and therefore music is held.
Thanks,
