❒ Formatting removable media such as an MO drive

A FORMAT window will appear, allowing you to select the type of file system
and the formatting method.

3. 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.

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 MO
disk.

❍ NORMAL (normal format)
Use this when formatting a newly purchased MO disk. Depending on the capac-
ity of the MO 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 OK button and press the [ENTER] key.

Formatting will begin.
