Just in case you don’t know how to do it from SFP:

Windows does not recognise the AKAI samples, it simply cannot see them, that is why you cannot copy those using common Windows methods.

So, how would you do?
First put the CD or DVD you want to copy, containing your AKAI samples into your drive, then go to your FileBrowser in SFP and locate the samples; for it you have go to the specific letter representing the drive containing the samples. Once you can see the folders, select them one by one while you press the Control Key in your keyboard. Now you should have all the folders selected, ok…, now go to “edit” up the way in the FileBrowser, and open the popup window and select “copy”, sometimes you need to click copy more than once for it to work properly. Now SFP has all the information it needs to copy the samples. Go to the drive letter where you would like your samples to reside, open it, in your FileBrowser open the popup window again, and this time choose “Paste”, then be patient and don’t touch anything; the samples should be copied to your HDD in about 10 to 30 minutes, depending on your RAM, your drive speed and your HDD speed as well.

That’s it, I hope you got everything clear :smile:

If you select the first and the last while holding "shift" you should select them all together.
