Hey Marty, not sure what is going on here... but we have a single guy in Tech Support tomorrow that may be able to assist you. If you call the main # (800-222-4700) after 11am EST and ask to be transferred to Tech about the issue.... they'll be able to assist you. If not, our full support staff is back in Monday morning as will Roland's factory support.

Based on your description it sounds like it could be a hard drive issue.
If you have a 2480HD, you can easily pull the drive and run MS Scan Disk against it on a PC to check for formatting or physical problems.
If you have the 2480CD, you can still accomplish this testing, but with a lot more work to remove the hard drive*.
*Plus, you'll void the warranty if it's still active.

Thanks for the replies.
Falcon,
I shut the machine down and when I turned it on again, everything was fine. Do you think I should still try and test it, or was it just a hiccup?

Your call.
But, if it happens again, I'd check it out.
