Performing hard disk operations
Initializing the hard disk
(Disk Initialize)
The appropriate settings for the internal hard disk were
made before the BR-1600CD left the factory, so it is ready for
immediate use.
If for any reason the hard disk can no longer be written to or
read from, or if you immediately want to delete all data from
the disk, you can carry out Disk Initialize.

fig.54-04d
4. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select the initialization
mode.
NORMAL
This is the usual format. The hard disk is formatted as a
single partition. The maximum partition size is 40 GB.
* When you execute the initialize on a 80 GB hard disk, this
create two partitions, each containing 40 GB. You cannot
create a 80 GB partition.
SURFACE SCAN
The entire hard disk is formatted as “NORMAL” after all
of the storage sectors of the hard disk are checked.
With a 80 GB hard disk, such checking takes roughly 6
hours to complete.
If you press [EXIT/NO] while the check is still in
progress, the check is stopped at that point, and
formatting continues in “NORMAL” mode.
DIV 2 through 8
This separates the hard disk into drives (partitions) of
equal size. You cannot set the drives so that they are of
different sizes.
Example) When using “DIV 5” in formatting the
partitions on a 80 GB hard disk.
80GB / 5 = 16 GB
This creates five partitions, each containing 16 GB.
The maximum size for a single partition is 40 GB.
Initialization is set to “NORMAL” at the factory.
5. Press [F4] (GO).
The message “Sure?” appears.

• Take care to note that all data on the hard disk is lost
when you execute Disk Initialize. The demo songs
programmed at the factory are also deleted.
• We recommend creating a backup of your data on a
CD-R/RW disc or other media as your situation
requires.
