6.6.1.4 Troubleshooting

Some potential problems and their suggested solutions are:

Format does not complete and system is frozen.

Check to see if the drive still has power.

The only way to terminate the program is to reboot. If the format did
not complete, the drive remains unusable until a low-level format is
completed.

The utility screens are unreadable.

Check that your graphics card and your monitor match. For example, an
SVGA card combined with a VGA monitor may not display the screens
accurately.

Older MO drives may give an “Unknown error” status code if the
media is not present. This may cause the ASPIFMT to incorrectly
identify the problem.

If an unknown status code is received for an MO drive, check to see if
the media are present.
