4. Move the cursor to either the QUICK or the NORMAL button, and press

the [ENTER] key.

The formatting method will depend on the button you select.

QUICK (quick format)
Use this when you wish to quickly erase data from a previously-formatted hard
disk.

NORMAL (normal format)
Use this when formatting a newly purchased hard disk. Depending on the capac-
ity of the hard disk, this may require several minutes or several-ten minutes.

After selecting one or the other button, press the [ENTER] key, and a popup win-
dow will appear, asking you to confirm the Format operation.

5. Move the cursor to the TYPE area, and rotate the [DATA/JOG] dial to

select one of the following two types of file system that will be created
during the formatting operation.

ORIGINAL ...................This is the native file system of the AW4416. Select

this file system if you have selected TYPE2 as the
backup format.

FAT 16 ..........................This is the file system used on PC-type computers

(e.g., Windows 95 or Windows 98 machines). Select
this file system if you wish to exchange files with a
PC.

The AW4416 does not support the “FAT32” file system used on Windows 95
OSR2 and subsequent operating systems.

A popup window will appear, asking you to confirm the Format operation.
