Format Flash card
This function first overwrites the Master Boot Record of the card with binary “0”s thereby
removing any boot sector viruses. It then re-partitions the card with a single primary
partition of the maximum size and then formats this with a FAT32 file system. Note this
function does not wipe the data area of the card. The Wipe card function must be used
if this is required. See Section 4.4.12.
When complete “Formatted” is displayed.
4.4.15
Calculate the Checksum of the Master Disk Image
This function will generate a unique number from the contents of the inserted Master
disk. This is called a checksum (see below). This number provides a useful and secure
identification for the Master and the flash card.
Place the Master disk in the DVD drive and press the {
Go
} soft key to execute the
function. When complete the checksum is displayed.
Where a multi-disk back up set has been produced, the checksum of the whole set can
be found by starting with disk 1 in the set and following the on screen instructions.

Enable JPEG creation on Working Copies
This function will turn on the automatic creation of JPEG files on Working Copy disks.
This will slow down the creation of the Working Copy where RAW image files are
present.
Press the {Change} soft key to enable/disable the option.
Press the {Exit} soft key to return to the Menu.

Set Disk Types
This function sets the disk format for the Master and a Working Copies.
Master Type
There are two options; Full Image and Compact. “Full Image” is the original Master
format used up until V2.2. The “Compact” option produces Masters with directly
accessible files and is much smaller in size. This is the new recommended Master
format from V2.2. See section 4.5 for more information.
Working Type
The Working copy is normally a file copy of the flash card. If the DVD authoring option is
installed, the Working Copy can be configured to be a Video DVD instead.
Changing the Master and Working Disk Type
Press the {Change} soft key to toggle between different options.
Press the {Exit} soft key to return to the Menu.
