RE: Follow up to
It's because of Windows. It overwrites some sector of any removable media (floppy, Jaz, Zip, etc.) which screws up the names. If the names are 8 characters or under (ie DOS format), it will be fine. If they are longer than 8 characters, you'll get something like BassDr~3 as a name instead of BassDrum.
If you remember the names, you can rename them using the MPC in the disk page. Even with floppy you cannot back it up on the PC directly. An indirect way is to back up using the Teledisk program in DOS.
My suggestion if you have a SCSI card in your PC and a CDR Burner is to save all of your files onto Zip or Jaz. Then use the Disk2File program to create an image. You can then use that image to burn to CDR.
There is a link at www.tweakheadz.com which explains how to do this.
