Hi Insan

Follow these steps and make sure you "create" the diskettes - DO NOT just copy the files onto the diskettes - that won't work.

Steps are here:-

Let me know if you are still having problems...

Cheers

Thank you for helping me, I think it's gonna work because I did not extract files with Winimage. Now I have at least screen working : next step would be re-calibrate the touch screen which I don't know how to do it.

Ok I found your previously post

You MUST re-calibrate the touch screen immediately after installing the OS otherwise it is very likely that the screen will appear to not respond.

You can get to the calibration screen by pressing GLOBAL button and then pressing it again and holding it down.

Hope this helps

Package Contents
The archive “Pa1X_res_v[nnn]_fd.zip” contains this “Pa1X Upgrade Procedures” file, and
six “Pa1X_res_[nnn]_Dsk[1…6].exe” files. Use WinZip (www.winzip.com) to extract
them from the archive.
Preparing Resource Floppy Disks
You will need six HD-type floppy disks and a PC-IBM compatible computer, running any
version of the Microsoft Windows operative system. This procedure will format, copy and
verify the files in the target disk.
Did all of it, still no signs when inserting disk

Warning: All existing data in the floppy disk will be deleted.
Note: If using Win2000 and WinXP, an error message may appear after running the executable
file. Press Ok, then confirm you want to retry the operation. This error will not prevent
the operation from being correctly executed.
1. Insert floppy disk #1 in the PC’s disk drive, run “Pa1X_res_[nnn]_Dsk1.exe”, then
follow the instructions appearing on the screen.
2. Repeat the above procedure with the remaining five disks and the
“Pa1X_res_[nnn]_Dsk[2…6].exe” executable files, to create all six backup disks.
Please label your disks, to easily identify their order while installing the Musical Resources.

and then....

1. Insert the first floppy disk into your Pa1X’s floppy disk drive.
2. Go to the Pa1X Disk > Utility page and select “Full Resource Restore”, then press ....

...."from this point this msg does not appear"....

Execute. The source device will appear. __" ( This does not appear ?)
3. From the Device pop-up menu, select “FD” as the source device.
4. When the backup file (“.BKP” file) appears in the display, select it and press the
Restore command. A message will appear, asking you to insert Disk #1. Press OK
to confirm.
5. Wait until the first backup disk has been loaded. A message will appear, asking you
to insert the following disk. Insert the second backup disk and press OK.
6. Repeat the same procedure with the following backup disks. When the last backup
disk has been loaded, the backup data is restored into the internal memory, and
Pa1X will automatically go to the Style Play mode.
7. At the end of the Restore operation, turn the Pa1X off and then on again.

Hi Insan

It looks like you are doing everything correctly.
You have created each of the 6 diskettes by executing the 6 ".exe" files downloaded and labeled them correctly.

If your "first" diskette is correct, then you should see the .BKP file and be able to select "FD" device.

I am at a loss as to what to say.

I would check diskette #1 and ensure it has no bad blocks - maybe just re-create the diskette #1 again on a new formatted FD.

Let me know how you go....
