Formatting a hard disk
If the hard disk is being used by the TRINITY series for the first time, the hard disk must first be formatted to establish a filer partition and a sound partition.
When formatting is executed, all data that was previously on that hard disk will be erased. Before formatting a disk, make sure that it does not contain data you wish to keep.
The only way to modify the size of the filer partition or the volume label is to execute formatting once again or to execute the Wipe command.
1In Disk mode P1 tab 3 page (Utility), use the drive select field to select the hard disk that you wish to format.
Drive select
When using Drive Select to select a hard disk, the ID numbers of hard disks that have not been formatted will appear as Unformatted, and the ID numbers of hard disks that are not connected will appear as None. Even if a hard disk has been formatted by a personal computer, etc., it will be shown as Unformatted, and such a hard disk must be formatted as well.

When formatting is executed, this volume label will be displayed in the drive select area.
