In the case of a hard drive error, the system will come directly to this menu. An error may be indicated if the hard drive time and system time do not match. To resolve this issue, adjust the time in the General setting menu located in the Setting menu (See Section 5.3) and restart the system. Formatting the drive, using HDD Manage as described in Section 5.4 Advanced is another possible solution to drive errors.

If the drive is damaged or missing, you will need to install a drive. Please see Chapter 10 for hard drive installation instructions.
