In all cases, check your device's operating
manual to understand how it controls external
devices. In most cases, FireStore will act and
appear as a VTR.
Note: FireStore’s AV/C control is intended to
be used with a single file type. Therefore, it is
important that you select only one type of file
(e.g. Matrox, AVI Type 2 etc.) when attempting
to use AV/C control.
5.0 FRESH DISK FORMAT
If you have a brand new disk drive that does
not contain any existing partition(s), it is
possible to create a FAT32 volume utilizing
FireStore. Simply connect the FireWire drive
to FireStore’s "To HDD" port and power up
both FireStore and the disk drive. The display
will read "NO DISK". Simply hold down the
(SHIFT/ALT) button for two seconds
(until it flashes) and then press the (HDD)
button. You will be asked...
Answer "Yes" by pressing the (PLAY)
button. WARNING: Formatting a drive
will delete all information. Back up any
material you may wish to keep before
formatting. FORMATTING IS NOT
UNDOABLE! If you are unable to format
the drive, see section 6.0 of this document.
6.0 NON-FAT 32
DISK PARTITION & FORMAT
If you have a disk drive that contains a non-
FAT32 partition (such as NTFS, Mac OS
Standard, Mac OS Extended, UNIX etc.), it is

FireStore and wait until you see the "NO
FORMAT" or "NO PARTITION" display on
the FireStore LCD. Simply hold down the
(SHIFT/ALT) button for two seconds
(until it flashes) and then press the (HDD)
button for two seconds. You will
be asked...

STOP display will appear. Re-boot FireStore
before using.
