Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and 
Floppy Disk

 

Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below.

• 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.

 

To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive:

 

• Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing 

upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, 
towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the 
slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into 
place and the eject button pops out.

 

To eject a floppy disk:

 

Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that data 
is not being written to the floppy disk.
If data is currently being written to the floppy disk in 
the following operations, the messages “Now 
executing,” “Now copying,” and “Now formatting” 
appears in the display.
• Moving, copying, pasting, saving, or deleting data 

(page 42 - 44).

• Naming files and folders (page 41); creating a new 

folder (page 44).

• Copying a disk to an another disk (page 150); 

formatting the disk (page 150).

• Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off 

when the data is being written to the floppy disk. 
Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk 
drive. Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; 
the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is 
fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.

• If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not 

pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject 
properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-
pressed position with the disk extending from the 
drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do 
not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since 
using force in this situation can damage the disk drive 
mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially 
ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, 
or push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the 
eject procedure.

• Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive 

before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the 
drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and 
dirt that can cause data read and write errors.

• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument 

employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, 
after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of 
magnetic particles from the disks used that will 
eventually cause read and write errors.

• To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order 

Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-
available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the 
head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer 
about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks.

• Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk 

drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk 
drive or floppy disks.
