Update Directories
This feature allows the user to force the creation of or update the summary file for the directory or
all directories if performed from the drive level. Originally, this feature was included to facilitate
the transfer of material between DigiCart with different versions of software. In some cases it may
restore a disk that appears to have lost a cut or exhibits other problems. When importing material
from a 360 Systems Shortcut, this operation will accelerate the disk initialization process.
WARNING!
WHEN THIS FEATURE IS USED AT THE DRIVE LEVEL, IT WILL UPDATE ALL 10 CUT
DIRECTORIES, AND IT WILL OPEN AND CLOSE EACH FILE ON THE DISK. IF THE
DISK HAS MANY CUTS, THE UPDATE PROCEDURE CAN BE PROTRACTED.
Partition Drive
This menu item allows the internal hard disk to be partitioned into one to five logical drives. This may
allow the user more flexibility in organizing large libraries. Partitioning divides the physical hard disk
space equally from two to five drives (1/n), except that drive 1 will always have slightly less recording
space because system files are stored on that drive. Partitions are assigned drive numbers 1 though 5,
depending upon how many are created. These drive numbers are used in the File ID scheme in the same
way as the original drive 0 and 1. Partitioning is destructive, all data on the hard disk will be lost during
this process.
A logical drive created by this partition process may be formatted, erased, named, etc. in the same
manner as the original drive, without affecting other partitions.
1. Press the UTILITY MENU button and rotate the SELECT control until the display
will show:
PARTITION HARD DRIVE
PRESS ENTER/CANCEL
2. Press the ENTER button. The display will show:
NUMBER OF LOGICAL
DRIVES: 1 (4.32G)
The number in parenthesis is the drive size. Rotating the select knob will show
differing numbers of partitions with their approximate drive size. In this example,
two partitions would each have a size of 2.16GB, 3 partitions would each have a
capacity of 1.44GB, etc.
If you hit the ENTER key, but have not changed the setting, nothing will be done
to the disk and the following message will appear:
