Loading PCG from FDD

Hi.
I may be missing a step but I am trying to load programs from a pcg file but am not seeing them in the bank.
I have the EXBPCM08 card installed and am trying to load programs/combinations using the floppy disk (created from download from KORG website). I choose D_BANK.PCG, click Open, then with Programs selected, click Open again. “Bank D” is displayed which again I click Open and see a list of programs.
If I then go to Prog and Bank D I still see the internal programs (000: Ribbon Morpher”.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Are the relevant Memory Protect checkboxes enabled in Global mode? They should be disabled.
Could the floppy drive be having issues reading from the disk?

Thanks for your reply. None of the memory protect checkboxes are ticked and the FDD seems to be reading ok.

Did you actually "Load" the programs? "Open" is like browsing the directory structure. You must then "Load" what you have selected - in this case either the entire Bank D or individual programs listed within Bank D. Note: You can also preview (manually audition) each program in the floppy list by selecting it.

Thank you so much. I had missed the "Load" button at the top of the screen and thought that "Open" was the only option.
