Had a complete hard drive crash tonight.  Besides having to re-install everything including windows, I have to install all my drivers, etc.  I’ve re-installed the Motif XS driver.  USB midi seems to work okay. 

But now the ethernet connection is gone again.  I can’t mount the hard drive.  This is the problem I had a few days ago that I asked about in another thread, and then it worked again. 

What I need now are step by step instructions on setting up the mount feature again.  I’ve read the manual, but can’t can’t get it to work. 

Also, I recently purchased a sound bank from the Motifator shop.  I need to re-download that...who do I contact about that.  I can’t seem to find a place that shows what I’ve bought. 

Fortunately, I had everything else backed up on my USB back-up drive, so all my other sound banks and sequence files are safe. 

Finally, I downloaded the Yamaha Studio manager, but I don’t what version of the Motif XS editor I’m supposed to download.  All I see is the VST version, but I’m not using Cubase...I just want to be able to use the editor as a stand alone app to edit and shuttle voices around. 

This is all so very frustrating!!!!  (on top of which, my Colts lost the Superbowl!!!)

Thanks for the info.  I solved the mounting issue.  Basically I totally forgot to set my PC up on the network to allow for file sharing...DUH!!!  Once I did that, everything was fine.
