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.
