Maybe he could download the previous version (last working OS) and try installing it in the keyboard again. I don't know if this would work.

Here's a link to R-A-G (Roland Arrangers Group): http://www.daytonamusic.com/rag/download.htm
They have downloads and the folks in the group could probably answer this better than me.

Sorry, missed Saturday, but these sort of errors usually mean dirty floppy drive, dodgy disc, or corrupt download.

Standard PC "Floppy Disc Cleaner Disk" should work (if it involves claening fuid DONT GET IT TOO WET)

Could the floppy disc be verified on a PC?

Is the download available somewhere else - download again and compare the two files to see whether they are the same?

Good luck!
