[Volume]

Click the arrow at the right of the volume field to select the required hard disk. When you have selected a hard disk, the capacity and free space will be displayed in the fields below the selected volume.

[Defrag]

Clicking this button executes defragging to resolve file fragmentation in the volume selected in the volume field. Defragging may take several hours depending on the status of the hard disk. If defragging cannot be executed for some reason, a message to that effect will be displayed. Click the [Close] button to close the dialog.

[Initialize]

Clicking this button executes formatting of the hard disk in respect of the volume selected in the volume field. All data contained in the volume will be erased when formatting is executed. You will be asked to confirm whether you want to format the hard disk. If you selected an unformatted disk, the message [unformat disk] or [unpartition disk] will be displayed.

Click the [OK] button to format the disk. To cancel formatting, click the [Cancel] button. If formatting cannot be executed for some reason, a message to that effect will be displayed. Click the [OK] or [Cancel] button to close the dialog.

Normally, the hard disk is formatted prior to shipping, but occasionally an unformatted hard disk may be found. If this happens, the message [unformat disk] will be displayed in the volume field. To format an unformatted disk, select [unformat disk], then click the [Format] button.

CAUTION

• Volume C, D and L cannot be formatted.

[Error Check]

This button is not normally selected. Use it only if you suspect that there is some abnormality in the hard disk or if you want to check the data structure of the disk. Recovery of large-capacity hard disks may take several hours. Recovery of the hard disk in the system is impossible. Recovery will be executed the next time the system is started.

Recovery may not be possible when the recovery volume is being used. If this happens, a message will be displayed informing the user that recovery cannot be performed at the present time and asking whether recovery should be scheduled for the next time the system is started. Select whether to click the [Cancel] button and then to retry by clicking the Recover button again, or whether to click the [OK] button to execute recovery the next time the system is started.
