 Posted: Tue Oct 22, 2013 2:27 pm Post subject: My Kronos' own little secret partition |
 |
|
Last night, the weirdest thing happened. I did some sampling work on my Kronos, and I wanted to transfer those samples to my PC. I connected my portable HDD to Kronos, it's a Lacie Rikiki (http://www.lacie.com/be/products/product.htm?id=10517). I went to disk mode, selected the proper drive and saved all sample data in RAM as Wave files.
I powered off my Kronos, connected my HDD to my laptop but then I had a panic attack: the files weren't there!
Then I remembered not seeing any of the files and folders that are already on the drive in disk mode... So I went back to Kronos, and to my surprise I could still see the sample files in disk mode!!
Media info showed an MS-DOS partition of 256 Mb in size. But on my pc, all I see is the 1.0 tB NTFS partition. Even in disk management, I don't see any hidden partitions.
I finally copied my samples to a pendrive which worked fine on my PC and made a mental note of not using my Lacie in my piano! Kronos appears to have found a little dark corner of the HDD where it stores its files!

Sounds like your drive had a small FAT32 partition. I don't know why this didn't show up on your PC - look to Windows for the answer!
You can use FAT16 and FAT32 USB storage devices with the KRONOS. OS-specific formats (such as Windows NTFS - as with your portable disk - and OS X HFS+) are not supported.

That's the weird part, it doesn't have one.
When I go to the disk management utility from Windows, it clearly shows the drive with just one NTFS partition.
This is not my screenshot, but my drive looks exactly like disk 2 in this picture:

Maybe a hidden partition, which can't be seen by Windows, but can be seen by the OS in Kronos.

Hidden partitions should still show up in the disk management utility. Very strange indeed. Perhaps you just got a bogus write due to the disk being NTFS?
EDIT: actually, did you try to reproduce yet? |
