158 Chapter 14-SCSI & External Disk Drives Formatting External Disk Drives New disk drives and drives that have been used to store other kinds of data must be formatted before they can be used with the D24. The formatting process prepares a disk for storing D24 data. Formatting erases all previously stored data, so if you're reusing a disk, make sure that it contains no important data before formatting. The method of formatting depends on the type of external disk drive and whether or not you want to mount the disk using a personal computer. Three procedures are provided as follows. Formatting Hard Disks for Maximum Capacity This section explains how to format an external hard disk drive in order to use the maximum capacity supported by the D24, which is 8.4 GB. The drive must be formatted using both the Physical Format and front panel [FORMAT] functions. Disk drives formatted this way cannot be mounted by a personal computer. 1 Connect the external hard disk drive to the D24. 2 Select the external hard disk drive using the Drive Select function. See "Selecting the Work Disk" on page 161. 3 Press the [UTILITY] button. The UTILITY indicator lights up. 4 Use the JOG/DATA dial to select "PHYS FORMAT," and then press the [ENTER] button. The FORMAT indicator flashes and "ARE YOU SURE" flashes on the display. 5 Press the [ENTER] button to format the disk. The physical formatting process starts and "FORMATTING" appears on the display. When the physical formatting process is complete, "FINISHED" appears on the display and the FORMAT indicator goes out. 6 Press the [FORMAT] button. The FORMAT indicator flashes and "FORMAT DISK-ARE YOU SURE" flashes on the display. 7 Press the [ENTER] button. "PRESS-REC + PLAY" appears on the display. 8 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 indicator goes out, and "01 NEW PROJ" appears on the display. 9 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. D24-Owner's Manual

SCSI & External Disk Drives

D24—Owner’s Manual

Formatting External Disk Drives

New disk drives and drives that have been used to store other kinds of data must be for-

matted before they can be used with the D24. The formatting process prepares a disk

for storing D24 data. Formatting erases all previously stored data, so if you’re reusing a

disk, make sure that it contains no important data before formatting.

The method of formatting depends on the type of external disk drive and whether or

not you want to mount the disk using a personal computer. Three procedures are pro-

vided as follows.

Formatting Hard Disks for Maximum Capacity

This section explains how to format an external hard disk drive in order to use the max-

imum capacity supported by the D24, which is 8.4 GB. The drive must be formatted

using both the Physical Format and front panel [FORMAT] functions. Disk drives for-

matted this way cannot be mounted by a personal computer.

Connect the external hard disk drive to the D24.

Select the external hard disk drive using the Drive Select function. See

“

The UTILITY indicator lights up.

Use the JOG/DATA dial to select

“

”

and then press the [ENTER]

button.

The FORMAT indicator ﬂashes and “ARE YOU SURE” ﬂashes on the display.

Press the [ENTER] button to format the disk.

The physical formatting process starts and “FORMATTING” appears on the display.

When the physical formatting process is complete, “FINISHED” appears on the display

and the FORMAT indicator goes out.

Press the [FORMAT] button.

The FORMAT indicator ﬂashes and “FORMAT DISK—ARE YOU SURE” ﬂashes on

the display.

Press the [ENTER] button.

“PRESS—REC + PLAY” appears on the display.

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.

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

“

”

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.
