FORMATTING DISKS
It is possible to format hard disks to MS-DOS format in the DISK UTILS page in DISK LIST:
To select the disk to format, press the soft key alongside it. Now press FORMAT DISK ( do not
press SELECT DISK on F8 ). You will see this prompt:
You should select whether you want to perform a QUICK FORMAT or a FULL FORMAT using the
check boxes on F6 and F14. FULL FORMAT is required if the disk is brand new or has maybe
been used with some other device (for example, a disk that may have been used on an older Akai
sampler). The FULL FORMAT takes much longer of course but sets the disk up properly. QUICK
FORMAT can be used if you are re-formatting an existing MS-DOS disk.
