File Operations
System Upgrade Backup Files
When you upgrade from one software release to a newer one, configura-
tion and E-MEM files are moved to a new Frame:C\User\OLD folder.
These files can be used with the latest software if backup files on Zip are
not available.
The moved effect files are stored in numbered bin folders that contains all
the EMEM registers (up to 100) that resided in that bin when the upgrade
occurred. The bins are numbered 0-9, corresponding to bins A-G.
These are one time only backup files, and are not automatically updated
when configurations are changed or effects are edited on the Zodiak
system.
Formatting Zip Disks
If you have unformatted Zip disks, or Zip disks formatted for other plat-
forms (e.g., Mac), they will need to be formatted for use on the Zodiak
system. This is done using standard Windows disk operations. A mouse is
required (to right click), and if you name the volume you will need a key-
board.
CAUTION Formatting will erase any existing data residing on the disk.
1. Insert the Zip disk to be formatted into the Zodiak system removable
drive.
2. Go to the Windows desktop by touching the upper right message area
of any Zodiak menu and exiting the menu application by answering
Yes
to the prompt.
3. Double click My Computer , then right click on the Removable drive icon
(usually D:).
4. Select Format from the drop down menu.
5. If you wish, name the disk by entering a Volume label.
6. Click Start , then OK at the precautionary message.
7. When done, a Format Complete dialog box will appear. Click OK .
8. Double click on the Zodiak Menu icon to return to normal system
operation.
