Copying and Formatting Disks — Disk
• Copying cannot be done
between a 2DD disk and
2HD disk. When copying,
make sure both disk are
the same type.
• Depending on the amount
of data contained in the
original source disk, you
may have to swap the two
disks several times until all
of the data is properly
copied.
• Make sure to read the
section “Using the Floppy
Disk Drive (FDD) and
Floppy Disks” on page 7.

Copying from Disk to Disk
As shown below, first copy the data of the original (source) disk to the PSR-2000/1000,
then copy the data to the backup (destination) disk.
1
Press the
[F]
button. A message
appears, prompting you to insert
the source disk.
2
Insert the disk containing the
original data into the drive and
press “OK.”
A
“Now copying”
message
appears, and the PSR-2000/
1000 begins copying data to
internal memory. To abort the
operation, press
“CANCEL.”
3
At the
“Please insert a destination
disk and press the OK button ”
prompt, eject the source disk and
replace it with a blank, formatted
disk, then press “OK.” To abort the
operation, press “
CANCEL
.”
4
When the operation is finished
(or when prompted), eject the
destination disk.
Commercially available
music data is subject to
protection by copyright
laws. Copying commer-
cially available data is
strictly prohibited,
except for your own per-
sonal use. Some music
software is purposely
copy-protected and
cannot be copied.
Formatting a Disk
When using an unformatted disk for the first time, make sure to properly
format it on the PSR-2000/1000. This includes blank disks as well as disks
already initialized in a different format. Formatting erases all data on the
disk.
Insert the disk with shutter facing away from you and the label side up. To
start the Format operation, press the
[H] (DISK FORMAT)
button, in the
DISK page above.
The Format operation initializes a disk
with a specific file system, allowing the
corresponding device (in this case, the
PSR-2000/1000) to access it properly.
Since there are several types of for-
mats and disks available, you should
know which ones to use with the PSR-
2000/1000. 2DD disks are formatted to
a capacity of 720 KB, and 2HD disks
are formatted to a capacity of 1.44 MB.
Formatting a disk completely erases all
data on the disk. Make sure that the
disk you’re formatting does not contain
important data!
CAUTION
Disk Lamp
When the power is turned
on, the disk lamp (at the
bottom left of the drive)
lights to indicate the drive
can be used.
