Mounting D24 Disks on a Personal Computer 165 Mounting D24 Disks on a Personal Computer The D24 uses the DOS FAT16 filing system to manage files on disk. This means that an MO disk formatted by the D24 can be mounted on the desktop of a PC running a Windows operating system, or a Macintosh computer that can mount DOS formatted disks. Obviously, the MO disk drive that you use with your computer must support the disk type and capacity. You cannot, for example, mount a 640 MB Overwrite-type MO disk in a normal 640 MB MO disk drive. External hard disk drives can also be mounted by a personal computer, although this only applies to disks that were initially formatted as DOS FAT16 volumes using a personal computer. See "Formatting External Disk Drives" on page 158 for more information. D24 sound files and some of the project settings files appear on the desktop just like any other file. Since the D24 sound files use a proprietary Yamaha format, they cannot be played using common audio playback software. When a D24 disk is mounted by your computer, do not use any disk utilities on the disk, such as defragmenting software. Doing so may damage the disk or stored data. The following example shows how a D24 MO disk can be mounted by a personal computer with a compatible MO disk drive. 3.5" MO disk drive Personal computer D24 MO disk The following example shows how a SCSI disk drive used for recording on the D24 can be mounted by a personal computer with a SCSI interface.
