This function allows you to format the disk that is currently in the G-800’s disk drive. Note
that you hardly ever need this function because whenever you insert a disk the drive cannot
read, the display tells you so and suggests formatting it (or else remove the disk from the
drive).
Formatting new disks while taking a break, however, may be useful for those moments where
your creative juices suddenly start flowing and you want to start recording right away without
first formatting a disk.
Here is how to prepare a bunch of disks for those special moments: first select the Format
function, then look at the above message (it means that all data that may be on the disk you
are about to format will be erased in this process; have a look at the floppy to make sure it
doesn't contain valuable data), and finally press Part Select [LOWER].
During the Format operation, the following message will be displayed:
FORMATTING...
DISE.
Format.
EExMit
When your disk is ready for use, the display briefly tells you the Format operation is complet-
ed:
OK !!
FORMAT COMPLETE
