About Drive Check’s Repair Capabilities

If Disk Check finds a problem it can attempt to fix it for you by deleting the data that’s
causing the trouble you’re experiencing. Often—once the damaged data is removed—
the problems that led you to Drive Check disappear.
When you begin a Drive Check repair, the VS-2480 warns you that you’ll lose data. The
fact is that the data you’ll lose is no longer any good anyway, as evidenced by the fact
that you’ve been experiencing problems and that Drive Check has targeted the data for
deletion.

Running Drive Check

1. Press PROJECT.
2. Select the drive you want to check.
3. If “DrvChk” isn’t visible over F1, press PAGE until it is.
4. Press F1 (DrvChk). The VS-2480 asks:
5. Press ENTER/YES to check the selected drive, or EXIT/NO to cancel.
The VS-2480 asks if you want to save any recent changes to the current project.
6. Press ENTER/YES to save the project, or EXIT/NO to proceed to the Drive Check.
The Drive Check can take a while, depending on the size of your drive.
When the check is complete, the VS-2480 displays a report of the results.
7. If errors have been found, press ENTER/YES to have Drive Check attempt to
remove the cause of the problem from your drive, or press EXIT/NO to cancel
Drive Check.
The VS-2480 warns you: “You’ll Lose Data,” but, as noted above, any data Drive
Check wants to remove is probably unusable anyway.
8. Press ENTER/YES to proceed, or EXIT/NO to cancel the operation.
When Drive Check has finished its repair, it displays what it’s done. Projects that’ve
been partially altered are indicated by “Alt,” and projects that have been completely
deleted are shown as “Del.”
After Drive Check resolves a problem, we recommend backing up all of your data, re-
formatting the drive and recovering the backed-up data to ensure that no lingering
problems remain.
You can cancel the Drive Check at any time by pressing EXIT/NO. Do not interrupt
Drive Check by turning off the VS-2480’s power.
If you’re concerned about the risks of proceeding and would like some guidance, give
our Product Support team a call at 323-890-3740, x3741 from 8:30am to 5pm PST,
Monday-Friday.
