■ Formatting a storage device
Here’s how to format an internal or externally-connected storage device.
1. In the Utility page, move the cursor to the Do field.
2. Turn the [JOG] dial to select the formatting method you want to use; QUICK
FORMAT, FULL FORMAT, or WIPE VOLUME.
The page will change to a display like the following.
A Disk list block
Selects the storage device that will be formatted.
B Media field
Lists the types of storage device that are connected to the MPC4000.
C Name field
Lists the volume names of the storage devices.
D Device field
Indicates how each storage device is connected.
E Free field
Indicates the free space on each storage device.
3. Move the cursor to the data list block, and select the storage device or volume
that you want to format.
The storage device at which the cursor is located is selected for formatting.
4. To execute the Format operation, press the [F6] key (DO IT).
Note: When you perform this operation, all data on that storage device will be lost forever. Use this
operation with care to ensure that you do not accidentally erase important files.
Hint: If a storage device that has been partitioned into multiple volumes is connected to the MPC4000,
you may treat each volume as a separate storage device. To do this, execute WIPE VOLUME when
you want to erase only a specific volume of the device.
