Formatting External Disk Drives

D24—Owner’s Manual
Formatting Hard Disks for Computer Mounting
This section explains how to format an external hard disk drive so that it can be
mounted by a personal computer. Since the disk drive must first be formatted as a DOS
FAT16 volume on a personal computer, the maximum size of the volume is 2 GB, so
even if you’re using a 4.5 GB hard disk, you’ll only be able to use 2 GB for recording on
the D24.
1
Connect the external hard disk drive to a personal computer and format it as
a DOS FAT16 volume using the MS-DOS
“
Fdisk
”
command.
The D24 does not support FAT32 volumes, so be sure to format as FAT16.
2
Connect the external hard disk drive to the D24.
3
Select the external hard disk drive using the Drive Select function. See
“
Select-
ing the Work Disk
”
on page 161.
4
Press the [FORMAT] button.
The FORMAT indicator flashes and “FORMAT DISK—ARE YOU SURE” flashes on
the display.
5
Press the [ENTER] button.
“PRESS—REC + PLAY” appears on the display.
6
Press the [REC] and [PLAY] buttons simultaneously to format the disk, or the
[CANCEL] button to cancel the Format function.
The logical formatting process starts and “FORMATTING” appears on the display.
When formatting is complete, “FINISHED” appears on the display, the FORMAT indi-
cator goes out, and “01 NEW PROJ” appears on the display.
7
If you want to set the absolute start time of project 01 to a time other than
“
00:00:00.00,
”
set it now. See
“
Recording
”
on page 33 for more information.
Otherwise, press the [ENTER] button.
The absolute start time for subsequent projects can be specified as and when they are
recorded.
The hard disk is now ready for use.
