Audya 5 Harddisk Question

Hello,
I am new proud owner of a Audya 5. I got it used very cheap.
Thanks to this board, I could learn a lot and got many hints, for example how to repair wrong checksum, what I did already.
Now, the pre-owner installed OS5, all works fine. But I see, there are some folders missing. As much as I searched, I could not find a list of files a Audy should have in factory state. Also I tried to get recovery DVDs from Switzerland ketron, but they refused as the keyboard seems not to be bought here.
I am not shure if I really need stock DVDs, it seems there are only missed the midifiles and waves folder. Also I am not sure if the user_styles folder is empty.
Has someone the possibility to make a filelist of an Audya4/5 in factory state ?
Second question:
has the problem with the harddisks not beeing able to be formatted with more then 80GB been solved meantimes ? I saw that AJ seems to offer greater hard disks. How do they work ? Has this been realized by editing the partition table directly ?
Third question:
Does anywhere exists a technical start-up schema of an audya ? I mean, what is loaded from the flash and what from the harddisks in which order ? can an audya boot without a harddisk ? I ask because I would like to know what happens when i use the format commando and then shut down the audya. In this case do I have a problem ? and if not, this would mean, an audya can be booted without harddisk...... ?
fourth question:
can an usb-stick or external harddrive be formatted with the audy ? I did not dare to try it yet, as in worst case the format commando would work to the internal harddisk.....
Many questions :-)
Thank you all for this great forum.

Hello AJ,
thanks a lot for answering most of my questions.
Meanwhile I tried to clone my Harddisk to a SSD.
And learned some about startup mechanism.
When you have a unformatted/wrong formatted disk, Sytstem starts up and asks then if you want (F1) Format.
When you choose yes, the the System formats the Hard Disk.
Formatting on ketron means technical 2 steps:
1) Partitioning the disk and creating a 80GB Primary Partition
2) Formatting this partition with FAT32
3) Creating a couple of empty folders
After Formatting, the system boots up. However you cannot use the keyboard, but are able to connect the keyboard via usb to a pc and restore files you might have backupped before.
This steps I did with my SSD, I connected it back to the PC and made a chkdisk. What I found was that there were some failures - from the point of OS. There were some lost sectors (15). After correcting this, the system still booted.
The next step was to allign the SDD for its architecture.
Now the system did not boot anymore, instead it asked to
F1) format
F2) restore disk
What the restore disk command does is not clear for me, I let it run a while and then stopped. After this the disk was empty.
What also did not work was to resize the partition. It ended up in a SDD that seemed not to be formatted.
I guess, there are some "hidden" sectors, that contain the information and after manipulating size or position of the partition without respecting these sectors, the system fails.
But I will continue investigating this for a while.
-----------------------------
Relating the restore disks....
As the Audya 5 came out with OS 4.1, I would be totally happy with this version in factory state. The updates to 4.2 and 5.0 I can make myself of course afterwards...
At least a file list from the disk would be valuable
---------------------------------------------------
Thank you and have a great time

Hallo Snoopy,
na das ist ja schon mal was, vielen Dank :-)
Sieht so aus, als hätte ich die wav Dateien vollständig, jedoch bei den Midi und MP3 Dateien sieht es nach Lücken aus.
Wie sieht es bei den User Styles aus ? Ist da etwas drin gewesen ?
Ich habe, als ich noch in Deutschland gewohnt habe, in Niedersachsen gewohnt, an der Weser. Kenne Nordrhein-Westfalen auch ganz gut :-)
Also nochmals besten Dank, vielleicht hat Du ja bei Gelegenheit noch Lust, noch welche von den anderen Ordnern zu posten ?
Liebe Grüsse
Sigi
