4If the card capacity is 8 GB or more, turn the DATA wheel to select the MTR partition size, and press the F2 (EXEC) key. A message warning that all songs will be erased appears.
5Press the F3 (YES) key to format the card.
For example, if you format a 16 GB card with 4GB MTR partitions, 12 GB are left for MTR partitions after 4 GB is used for the FAT partition. Three partitions are created. Two are 4 GB and the last one is 3 GB. (Since 1GB is actually 1024 MB, the total size of the partitions does not always match the card size.)
•• When formatting finishes the CARD menu screen reopens.
•• After formatting, one song is automatically created in each MTR partition.
•• To cancel formatting, press the F4 (NO) key instead of the F3 (YES) key.
Reformatting MTR partitions
You can reformat an MTR partition if you want. Use this function when you just want to format a specific partition without changing its size.
CAUTION
You cannot undo this operation! All the data on the selected partition will be erased, so be certain that you will not lose anything important when reformatting.
