C-5. How to format disks

The operations described in this section are to be performed only for disks No.1 through 5 (drive “O:” and “L:”) in the event that serious problems have arisen in the editing software program installed in the system and the system’s disk configuration information has been lost.

Carelessly and needlessly formatting the disk will destroy not only the installed editing software program but the unit’s system software programs and recorded data as well and is, therefore, not recommended.

How to format drive “O:”

1.Click all drives 1 through 4 while holding down the [Ctrl] key on the keyboard.

2.When “Create stripe set” is clicked on the [Partition] menu, the “Create Stripe Set” dialog box shown in Fig. 6 appears. Click [OK].
