Formatting Macintosh Disks
The MMR-8 and MMP-16 cannot format disk drives as Macintosh HFS volumes, so a drive must first be
formatted as a Macintosh HFS volume using a Macintosh computer before the drive can be used with the
MMR-8 or MMP-16. If a non-Macintosh formatted drive is mounted, the MMR/MMP will not allow Pro
Tools or OMF as a choice for recording, backup, or file export to that disk. Users are advised to follow
the recommendations of Digidesign for formatting disk drives for use with the Pro Tools system and with
the MMR-8 and MMP-16.
