Chapter 8 • Using FireStore Files on a
Computer
This chapter focuses on using FireStore files on a computer system.
Preparing FireWire Disk Drives
FireStore works with any audio/visual capable IEEE-1394 (FireWire) disk
drive. FireStore requires that any attached disk drive is formatted as a FAT
32 volume. It is possible to format a disk drive on FireStore as long as it was
originally a FAT 32 volume (e.g. the drive came formatted for use on a Win-
dows based computer system, consult your disk drive documentation first
for more information). Focus recommends that a new drive be formatted
using FireStore before use.
If you are unsure whether your disk can be used with FireStore, do the fol-
lowing:
1. Connect all items to FireStore as described in "Connections" on pg. 4.
2. Connect power to your FireWire disk drive if needed and turn "ON".
3. Switch the power switch at the back of the FireStore unit to "ON". The
green power LED on the front panel will light and the LCD display s h o u l d
also glow. FireStore will then go through a brief boot-up period.
The fol-
lowing message will appear on the LCD display during boot-up.
When ready, the LCD display will read one of the following two messages.
If you see message (A), FireStore is ready to format.
If you see message (B), first check your cables between the FireStore unit and
disk drive are connected. Also check to see if there is power connected to the
disk drive (this will be indicated by a power status light or the sound of the
disk spinning). If your disk drive appears to not be functioning, try a differ-
ent one. If you have established that the drive is working, you may need to
format the drive as a FAT 32 volume. See "Creating a Partition on an Un-
known Volume Type" on pg. 35.
