Storage Medium – Internal Hard Drive
The 744T’s internal hard disk drive is the 744T’s primary storage medium. The large capacity and
fast data read/write speeds of hard drives are a perfect choice when long form, high data rate re-
cording is performed. hard disk drives offer a good balance of speed, reliability, noise performance,
and current draw.
Formatting
The drive installed in the 744T is formatted at the factory as a single-partition FAT32 volume. If a
drive with multiple partitions is installed, the 744T will only “see” and address the primary partion.
For best operation periodic re-formatting of the 744T hard drive is recommended. Formatting the
hard drive rebuilds the FAT (fi le allocation table) and erases all audio and data fi les present on the
medium. Formatting the drive prevents fragmentation and reduces the likelihood of directory cor-
ruption.
Be certain that all fi les on the 744T drive have been backed up to another media before formatting. Once
formatted, all data on the drive will be erased.
To format the 744T internal hard drive:
1.
Ensure that all data on the hard drive has been copied or is no longer needed.
2.
Press the Menu key.
3.
Use the Rotary Switch to scroll to

(ERASE)
.
4.
Press the Rotary Switch button to begin formatting.
5.
Press the Rotary Switch once more to confi rm the operation.
Formatting the 744T hard drive can take up to 20 seconds. When foratting is completed, the 744T
will generate a fresh menu hierarchy, including the daily folder if selected.
