Can anyone guide me to to a link that gives the step by step on how to replace the hard drive in my triton studio including how to correctly format it and copy the contents of my old hard drive into it? I understand the basics I'm really interested in tips that will prevent any surprises! Are there any disadvantages to putting in a larger hard drive (80 gig)? I'm hoping the hard drive is the problem. Just got it out of the shop to get the damper jack repaired (re-soldered). When I got it home and turned it on just got a blue screen. It will not initialize at all. (I will address this problem in another post) The repair man has it now but I have a gig next week and it's a show stopper if I don't have this board! Thanks!

Replacing Hard Drive in Triton Studio

The hard drive inside the Triton Studio is an IDE laptop hard drive. You hook it up to a desktop PC with the correct adapter and format the hard drive with a Windows 98 bootdisk to create a Fat32 partition. The hard drive is located near the floppy drive.
Here's my experience doing it:

Just to say thanks for passing on the information. I managed to put in a CDRW from a laptop and a hard drive from a Roland recorder - the only thing I would say is back up everything and anything before doing it. I lost all of the demo songs and a pc does not let you do anything with them. Besides that it was great fun.
CDRW
Hi.
The CDRW was out of my HP Compaq NX9105 the drive model is GWA4080N.
However I don't know if this is the same model as the one which ended up in the Triton which I just don't have time to take apart right now, all I looked for on a certain auction website was for any CDRW which:
- Looked slim enough to fit the drive space.
- The correct type of connector.
- The connector to be on the left side at the back - (if you look at the drive from the front/top).
I did try Korg first but they did not have any. You need to try and hold the drive in place somehow as it will not come with the appropriate fixings for a Triton, but hey what do you expect for under £10! I call it a good result all round.
The hard drive was from a guy named 'loploplip' on the same site, the drives were not huge but already formatted and working and his feedback looked good, (and if it didn't work I hadn't spent too much). You do need:
- A 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch IDE adapter which costd about £2.5 inc postage.
- To repartition the drive, Windows XP will do it for you with a bit of persuasion, just add all of the partitions together and reformat as one drive.
I hope this is enough info to get you going.
