4. In Volume Label, use the text edit button to access the
text input dialog box, and specify the volume label (See
OG page 197).
The previously-specified volume label will be displayed. If
no volume label had been specified for the media, or if a
non-DOS media was inserted, this will indicate NEW
VOLUME
.
5. Specify the initialization format.
Quick Format: Normally you should use Quick Format to
initialize the media.
Select this if the media has already been physically
formatted, or if you want to format media that has been
UDF-formatted by the M3. Since only the system area of the
media need be formatted, this will require less time.
Full Format: Select this when formatting media that has not
been physically formatted, or media (CD-RW) that has not
been UDF-formatted.
Note: Normally, it is not necessary to perform a Full Format
on media that has been physically formatted at 512 bytes/
block. Execute the Quick Format for such media.
Note: You will normally select Full Format for CD-RW media
etc. that has not been UDF-formatted. If an error message of
“Media not formatted” appears, execute Full Format.
Depending on the capacity of the media, executing Full
Format may require a substantial length of time.
6. Specify the file system.
FAT16 can format a maximum of 4 Gbyte. If you are using
media larger than 4 Gbyte, use FAT32 format to format it. (In
the case of FAT32, the theoretical maximum is 2 TB =
2,000 Gbytes.)
7. To format the media, press the OK button. To cancel
without formatting, press the Cancel button.
Note: If you want to use a CD-R/RW for writing packet data,
you must format it (see page 634). If you will be using it as
an audio CD, formatting is not necessary.
Convert to ISO9660 Format
This command converts UDF format CD-R media to
ISO9660 format.
If a file that was saved by the M3 to CD-R is to be loaded by
another device, you must execute this command to convert
it to ISO9660 format.
The memory of the USB storage device (except for a
USB CD-R/RW) is used temporarily when performing
the conversion. If no such media is connected, you
won’t be able to select this command. The USB storage
device must have 20 Mbytes of free space.
1. Select “Convert to ISO9660 Format” to open the dialog
box.
2. Press the OK button to execute the conversion, or press
the Cancel button to cancel without executing.
Even if data is converted into ISO9660 format, some
files may not be readable by certain devices.
Rate Convert
This command converts the sampling rate (frequency) of the
selected WAVE file from 48 kHz to 44.1 kHz or 44.1 kHz to
48 kHz.
This is valid only when a 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz WAVE file is
selected.
When you use the Make Audio CD page to write a WAVE
file to an audio CD, 48 kHz files will alternatively be
converted to 44.1 kHz. This command is useful when you
want to audition the sound converted to 44.1 kHz before
writing it to CD.
1. Select the file or directory whose sampling rate (fre-
quency) you want to convert.
2. Select “Rate Convert” to open the dialog box.
“Rate Convert” will indicate the name of the selected file.
3. Use the Open button and Up button to select the save-
destination directory.
If you want to specify another USB device, use Media Select
to specify it.
4. If you want to change the filename for saving, press the
text edit button in the lower line to access the text input
dialog box, and specify the filename for saving.
5. Press the OK button to execute the Rate Convert com-
mand, or press the Cancel button to cancel without exe-
cuting.
Check Medium
This command checks the selected MS-DOS format media
for errors, and corrects them. Execute this command if you
frequently experience messages such as “Error in writing to
medium” while writing to media, or “Buffer overrun error
occurred” while sampling to media.
Note: Executing this command on media that uses flash
memory (e.g., CompactFlash or SmartMedia, but not a
Microdrive) will have no effect.
1. Make sure that the media you want to check has been
inserted.
2. Use Media Select to select the media that you want to
check.
3. Select “Check Medium” to open the dialog box.
4. Press the OK button to execute the check, or press the
Cancel button to cancel.
5. When checking has been completed, the recovered con-
tent will be displayed.
Note: If you want to stop the checking process before it has
been completed, press the Abort button.
The dialog box shows the estimated time that the check will
require. This time will change depending on the capacity of
the media and the state of the files on the media. This
