Chapter 7 • Disk and File Utilities
This chapter focuses on the different disk operation and control utilities on
FireStore as well as information regarding files. Areas covered include disk
formatting, check disk, base file name, delete file and disk space remaining.
Format Disk
FireStore works with the FAT 32 disk format. If your disk does not conform
to this standard it will be necessary to format the disk. You can do this on a
Windows based computer system or you can do it on FireStore itself (FAT32
formatting CANNOT be done on a Macintosh). If your disk was originally
setup to be used on a Macintosh (or other platform), please go to Chapter 8.
Note: Focus Enhancements highly recommends that your selected FireWire disk drive
be used exclusively for recording files with FireStore. Disk fragmentation and files
not recognized by FireStore can cause drops in performance and operational prob-
lems. Whenever possible, we recommend that a full disk format be carried out on the
FireWire disk drive prior to use.
WARNING: FORMATTING A DRIVE WILL ERASE ALL DATA! BACK UP
ANY VALUABLE DATA BEFORE DOING THE FOLLOWING TASKS.
To format a drive on a Windows system, connect the FireWire disk drive to a
Windows 98 SE, Windows ME or Windows 2000 based system with an opera-
tional OHCI compliant FireWire port. Also ensure that the particular FireWire
hard drive drivers have been loaded on the system (consult your FireWire
disk drives manual for more information). Select the particular drive from
My Computer (usually labeled E:, F: or G: drive) and right mouse click. From
the menu select Format... Follow the onscreen menu to carry out a complete
drive format as a FAT 32 volume ( it is recommended that you do a full for-
mat). See page Chapter 8 of this manual for more detailed information of
formatting using Windows.
It is also possible to perform a FAT 32 disk format using FireStore. In a lot of
cases this is a lot simpler than formatting on a computer .
To format an attached drive, press FireStore's SHIFT/ALT
( )

for two seconds until it begins to FLASH. FireStore is now in ALT mode.
Then simply press FireStore's HDD

button and the following
LCD screen will display:
