B.2.3.3 INIT DISK Operation
CAUTION! INIT DISK is destructive to both the audio data on the disk and the file
system - therefore it should only be used under direction of Otari Technical
Support!
WHEN is INIT DISK effective?
INIT DISK removes the operating system and formatting information from the
selected disk. This action is sometimes necessary if the disk has soft errors that
cannot be repaired with RADAR’s Repair Disk procedure.
This action is also
necessary when installing new SCSI disks into RADAR.
INIT DISK also removes all audio from the disk, and all project information. This
information is not recoverable!
