Problem: I want to reformat the AV400’s hard disk.
Answer: You can do this, but it will erase ALL of the data on your AV400. Sometimes this may be necessary if your FAT (File Allocation Table) becomes so corrupted that nothing seems to fix your file problems. First, as explained below, you should run ScanDisk or the DOS chkdsk (Check Disk) program to try to fix your problem. If this doesn’t fix your problem and you are sure you must reformat the AV400 hard disk, then go to the screen Setup > System and press and hold the Right function button for three seconds. A button “Format HD” will appear. Use this button to format the AV400’s hard drive. Remember, doing this will erase all the data on the hard disk!!!
Problem: I would like to partition the AV400 hard disk.
Answer: If you know how to partition a hard disk, this is OK. The AV400 will, however, only recognize a FAT32 partition. Thus it will just see and use that partition of the hard disk which is a FAT32 partition. You must always then remain in USB Port Hard drive mode.
Problem: My files have disappeared from the AV400.
Answer: To see all your files, make sure the setting Show all files is set to ON. Also make sure that you browse your files via the Browser mode and not a filtered view such as Photo, Music, or Video.
