G-70 Version 3 Updating Instructions
LOADING THE G-70 UPDATING DATA PRESERVING YOUR USER DATA
(WINDOWS)
For Operating System(s): WindowsXP / WindowsME / Windows2000 / Windows98SE
The complete Update operation takes about 7 minutes. Though your user data are
preserved during the update, we recommend that you make a backup to avoid damaging
your data in case something goes wrong. Before starting the update procedure, make sure
that the “Internal Protection” switch (on the G-70 rear panel) is set to “OFF” position
(unlocked position). This updating procedure requires at least 11000Kbyte of free space in
your G-70 Internal Memory. To check the remaining memory space, press [MENU] >
[UTILITY] > [INFO], and see “Free Space Internal Memory.” If you do not have enough
memory space, please see “G-70 Update / Backup / Recovery” page in
www.rolandkeyboardclub.com website or contact your nearest Roland Service.
Loading Update Data into the G-70

in the drive, remove it before proceeding.

that the target area already contains folders of the specified names, tell Windows to
replace everything.
7. When all files have been copied, terminate the USB connection using the tray icon at
the right of your computer’s tool bar. The tray icon related to the USB connection looks

and wait for the “Safely remove hardware” message to appear.
8. Using the left mouse button, double-click this icon to open a window that lists all
hardware devices that are currently connected to that USB port. Select “USB mass storage
device” and check at the bottom whether the description refers to your G-70 (“G-70 mass
storage device”).

you can disconnect the hardware.
10. Click “OK” to close this window. On the G-70, press the [EXIT] button or
