Defrag Drive
The Defrag option (SETUP:Page Right:Disk:Defrag) allows you to defragment a
drive. As files are written, edited, and deleted on a disk, the files can become
fragmented. The SDR24/96 still keeps track of the data, but it can slow down
access to the files. Defragmenting a drive puts all the files back together in
contiguous streams of data.
As a precaution, we recommend backing up the data on the hard drive before running
the defrag operation.
To defragment a drive:
1. Press SETUP to enter the
SETUP MENU .
2. Press Page Right, select Disk,
and then select Defrag.
3. If there are multiple drives,
the Select Drive menu asks
you to select the drive to
defragment. Select either
Internal
or External using the << / >> buttons. The selection defaults to
the drive containing the currently open Project. Select Next.
4. You are asked to confirm the
defrag command. Select OK to
proceed or Cancel to exit.
5. While the drive is defragmenting, the display indicates the progress of the
operation in percentages.
System Menu
The System menu provides options for transferring files to a computer through the
USB port, for footswitch control, and for setting the date and time.
USB mass storage (USBMS)
The system USB mass storage option (SETUP:Page Right:System:USBMS) allows
you to put the SDR24/96 into USB mass storage mode. The SDR24/96 can then be
accessed as an external storage device from a computer for transferring files.
In USB mass storage mode, the SDR24/96 cannot be used as a hard disk recorder.
Upon leaving USB mass storage mode, the SDR24/96 will reboot.
