Strahl D1600mkII - Manual (Page 90)

82
The D1600mkII’s internal hard disk is divided into a
“song drive” used to record and play back the songs you
record, and a “USB drive” used to exchange data with
your computer.
The size of the USB drive is fixed as 2 Gbytes of the
total hard disk capacity; the remainder of the hard
disk is the song drive.
Perform the following operations if you want to erase
data from a drive or CD-RW disc, or if error messages
appears.
1. Checking the hard disk
This operation detects and repairs errors on the song
drive of the hard disk. Execute this if error messages such
as “DiskBusy” start appearing frequently. After execu-
tion, you can continue using the song data if there were
no major errors.
1. Select “CheckDrive/S”.
Access the [SYSTEM/USB] “DiskUtil” tab page.
Choose “SelOperation,” and use the [VALUE] dial to
select “CheckDrive/S”.
2. Execute the Check Drive operation.
Press the “Exec.” button to open the dialog box.
Specify the area to be checked. In this example, select
“Unused.”
Press the “Yes” button to begin checking.
The display will indicate “Completed” when check-
ing is finished. Press the “Yes” button.
2. Formatting the hard disk
Execute this operation if you want to erase data from the
entire song drive and/or USB drive, or if “DiskError”
messages start appearing frequently and executing the
CheckDrive operation did not help. You can format the
song drive and USB drive simultaneously or individual-
ly.
When you execute this Format operation, all data will
be erased from the disk, so be sure to check the con-
tents of the disk before you execute.
If an unexpected accident such as a power failure
occurs during the format operation, the D1600mkII
may become unable to operate correctly. If this
occurs, please contact your Korg distributor.
1. Select the type of format operation.
In the [SYSTEM/USB] “DiskUtil” tab page, choose
“SelOperation” and use the [VALUE] dial to select
the desired type of format.
• Format ALL: format the entire hard disk
• Format/S: format the song drive
• Format/U: format the USB drive
2. Execute the Format operation.
Press the “Exec.” button to open the dialog box.
Use the “Quick” button to select the type of format-
ting.
Normally you will turn the “Quick” button on. This
will merely initialize the system management area, so
formatting will not require very much time.
If the “DiskError” message appears frequently, turn
the “Quick” button off. For example you would turn
this off if the D1600mkII failed to recognize the drive
even after it was formatted with “Quick” turned on.
Formatting with the “Quick” button turned off
will require a substantial length of time for
completion. For example to format 40 GB, the
time required will differ as follows depending on
whether the “Quick” button is on or off.
If you turn on the “Force” button, formatting will be
executed even if the hard disk contains protected
songs.
If you execute formatting with the “Force” button
turned off, and the hard disk contains a protected
song, the “SongProtect” message will appear, and the
operation will be aborted.
