Disk Screen

This screen allows you perform various Disk Operations on the USB Disk. (No operations can be per- formed on a Flash Drive.)

•Prepare Disk - use this after installing a new disk. The disk will be partitioned and quick-formatted.

Any data on the disk will be lost!

•S.M.A.R.T.- S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) can warn of impend- ing problems with the Hard Disk, before it actually fails. This test should be performed regularly.

•Scandisk - running the Scandisk (Disk Check) program will check the file system, and correct any errors found. This program should be run regularly. The Scandisk program will also run automatically if an error condition is detected, such as an abnormal shutdown due to loss of power.

•Standby - Use the "Set Hard Disk to standby mode.. " setting to determine if and when the hard disk drives should be switched to "Standby" mode.
