DMS Files Missing.

[phattymatty]

Ok , I'm a super noob to this DMS hacking so bare with me. My DMS has always been buggy booting up. I'd usually have to insert my cartridge 5-6 times for the Phatnoise software to pop up, really annoying!!! So, I defragged the drive for the hell of it and now all my system files are missing. What can I do? I don't understand the boot disk reinstall proceedures. Can anybody help a noob out?

You likley need to chkdsk your drive (filesystem damage / corruption) and then reload the firmware onto the drive and remove the firmwareupdate file it adds.

Also I moved this to the support forums...

I did a check disk found no errors.
How do I reload the firmware? Remember, I 'm a noob!!!  
thanks again

go into PMM and with the dms inserted you will find it under options... due to several versions of PMM having alternate ways of locating the various menus I can't say for sure exactly where it is, but go to options its there someplace.
