Well, basically, i got a Boss BR900 Recently and have just finished recording 3 songs. However, this morning when I turned it on, on one of the songs, whenever i get to 1:40 in the song it stops the song and says 'drive busy!' and I don’t know what to do... it only does it on this one song at the same point in the song every time.
I’m a real noob at all this stuff because I’ve just started, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

i've had a VERY similar problem a year ago....try this... set up a loop on the same section where it cuts out and play it a few times, if it cycles through once without playing 'correctly', but one the next pass it does...you've got a RAM/hard drive cashe/buffer setting issue....

If you have the ability to export the file to either PC or CD I would try that. Then you can see if the audio actually is corrupted in the song or if there is some other issue in the file that is causing the BR900 to lock up like that.

It does sound as though it is hitting a buffer limit, but it shouldn't do it in exactly the same spot every time if that is the case.
