2-24. Formatting IDE/SCSI disk (“Disk Format?”)

When you format or initialize the internal hard disk or externally connected SCSI device, use this “Disk Format?” menu. If the formatting has been completed, all the recorded song data will be wiped off completely and the hard disk setting will go back to the initial factory setting. You need to format a brand new IDE hard disk or SCSI disk before you start using them.

Warning

Once the formatting starts, there is no way to stop it. Even the EXIT/NO key or STOP button won’t help you! If you don’t want to lose the recorded data, never press the EXECUTE/YES key at this stage.

If you have chosen “SCSI”, the formatting process will still not start. But instead, the display will show the Format Type which the D-160 has automatically measured on the externally connected SCSI device.

We recommend you format the disk with this Format Type. However, you can also change the Format Type with the JOG dial at this stage.

Press the EXECUTE/ YES key after you have chosen the Format type you want. Now the format process on the SCSI will start.

7.When the format finishes, the display will show “COMPLETED!” in either case.

8.Press the STOP button or EXIT/NO key to quit the SETUP mode and return to the normal time base display.
