Format Flash Card


Flash card files have a characteristic unlike normal DOS files. They
can not be modified once written. New files can be added to the
card, however they cannot be selectively removed.


When a new flash card is to be used or all the files removed from an
existing card, the card must first be formatted. Formatting erases all
data on the card and creates a DOS file structure.


To format a card press the [F2] key on the TRANSFER screen. The
screen will appear as in Figure 3.88, indicating the operation you are
about to perform and showing the current status of the operation. (If
nothing happens then you have not gained the required access to
modify the flash memory. Exit to the TRANSFER screen and refer
to the section entitled

Enter/Modify an Access Level

to gain

access).

Figure 3.88 – Format the Flash Card

The screen will then ask you to confirm the operation. Press the
[F8] key to proceed, or the [F9] key to abort. Performing a format
will overwrite all existing data on the flash card.


Formatting can take up to several minutes depending on the card
involved. The status will indicate when the formatting is complete
or if an error occurred.


Additional cards may be formatted from this screen by pressing the
[F2] key.
