(2) How to restore the FAT file system of the drive
If an error is detected in the file system, the FAT format can be restored by either of 
the following methods.
 • Use the restore function of the chkdsk command (  (3) in this section)
 • Reformat by using the format command (  Page 6-85, Section 6.10.2)
If the file system is not restored or the standard RAM drive and standard ROM drive 
cannot be formatted by either of the above methods, please consult your local 
Mitsubishi service center or representative, explaining the details of the problem.
1. During restoring the FAT file system, the stored file may be erased and some 
of them may be corrupted.
Back up the necessary program files and data before restoration, and write 
the backed up files and data again after restoration.
2. When the file system restoration has been performed for the standard RAM or 
standard ROM, write parameters by using C Controller setting utility.
