Coping a jukebox hardrive.

March 21, 2010 - 5:53 am
  • I have a harddrive jukebox made by Perception Digital ( Model No PD-430-01) which uses a standard Matrox hardrive which can be removed and attached to my PC. I want to transfer all of the tracks on the hard drive (which took months to load on) to make a back up copy on my PC. I have contacted perception digital and they have told me only they can back up the drive and I will have to upgrade to a newer version of the Jukebox. I have told them I can purchase the jukebox cheaper here (UK) than what they are offering (USA), but they will not play ball. When I attach the hard drive to my PC it is reconised, but wants to format the drive for use, is there anyway I can copy the drive to my PC without losing the data?


  • I think PQ Magic (Partition Magic) would be more appropriate, give it a shot, can't hurt!


  • What you could try is imaging the drive. Get Norton Ghost and connect the drive to your pc but do not format it. The problem is that I don't know if Norton Ghost will be able access the drive and properly copy it if Perception Digital has used some strange formating. And the software costs $70.00


  • When the jukebox is recognised windows will allocate a drive for the Jukebox. are you able to access the drive in the command prompt? Try Windows Media Player to access the tracks in your Jukebox.
