Akai MPC 60 User Manual

7.8 Formatting a disk
This function is used to format a new disk or to completely erase an
existing disk. ALL DISKS MUST BE FORMATTED BEFORE THEY
CAN BE USED IN THE MPC60! To use this function, from the disk
screen, type a 7 to select the FORMAT DISK option, and the following
screen will appear:
To format the disk currently in the drive, press <Format it>. This will take
about 1 1/2 minutes. Once complete, the previous screen will be
re-displayed. It is a good idea to format a large number of disks and set them
aside to have them ready when you need them. Otherwise, every time you
want to save a file to a new disk, you must first take the time to format the
disk.
