CHAPTER SIX – Maintenance and Disk Operations
FORMAT INTERNAL HARD DISK
The Format Disk option for the internal drive is only available through a special "power-on"
sequence. This option will erase the entire contents of Instant Replay's internal hard disk. It
is essential to back up the contents of your hard drive using the D-NET File Transfer or
Backup/Restore procedures detailed in Chapter 4 before beginning the Format Disk operation.
During FORMAT DISK, if you wait too long to select an option, Instant Replay will "time out",
aborting the Format Disk operation.
CAUTION!
FORMAT DISK WILL PERMANENTLY ERASE THE CONTENTS OF THE HARD DISK .
IF AT ANY TIME THE FORMATTING PROCESS IS ABORTED, YOU MUST RECYCLE
POWER (TURN THE MACHINE OFF, THEN BACK ON AGAIN) TO ENSURE PROPER
OPERATION. REPEAT THE FORMAT PROCESS AFTER CYCLING POWER.
