Chapter 17 Using Hard Drives

fig.06-02

Init Drive (Initialize Drive)

Select the drive (IDE, SCSI0-SCSI7). “IDE” indicates the

internal hard drive, and “SCSI” indicates external SCSI

drives. For example, use “SCSI5” or “SCSI6” to select a

Zip drive, depending on the Zip drive’s settings.

Partition

Select the partition size (500 MB, 1000 MB, 2000 MB). In

most cases, select “2000 MB.”

Physical Format

Select whether or not to use physical formatting. For new

drives, or drives that have been used by another device,

this should be set to “On.”

*If you are initializing a Zip 250 MB cartridge, set Physical

Format to “Off.”

Surface Scan

This confirms that the read and write functions in all of

the drive’s partitions are operating correctly when the

drive is initialized. In normal circumstances, set this to

“Off.” When you specifically want to conduct a test of

the read/write functions, set this to “On”.

The function buttons work as shown:

[F1 (DrSel)]:

Displays a directory of the currently connected drives.

Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the

cursor to the drive you want to initialize.

[F3 (Info)]:

Displays the drive information.

[F4 (Exec)]:

Executes initialization of the selected drive.

[F6 (EXIT)]:

Exits the screen.

7. When the settings are made, press [F4 (Exec)]. “Initialize

*** OK ?” appears in the display. “***” refers to the

selected drive’s SCSI number. For example, “SCSI5”

indicates an external drive that is set to SCSI ID #5.

8. Press [YES] to confirm that you wish to Initialize

(“Initialize ****, Sure?” appears in the display), or [NO]

to cancel the operation.

9. Press [YES]. “STORE Current ?” appears in the display.

Press [YES] to store the current song; otherwise press

[NO].

After the initialization is completed, the VS-1680 restarts

automatically, and returns to the Playlist display.

* Be aware that initializing a drive requires some time. This is

not a malfunction. For example, when physical format is

turned “On,” the time required to format a 100MB Zip disk™

is approximately 10 minutes. The progress of initialization

will be shown in the display. Be sure not to turn the power off

until initialization is complete.

Saving a Song to an External

Drive

You can save a song created on the VS-1680 to an external

drive, such as a Zip drive. This is a good way to have the

song backed up in the event of possible drive problems, or to

get back drive space when little space on the internal IDE

remains. We recommend keeping multiple backup copies of

important songs.

* Incorrectly using the Song Copy procedure may result in loss

of data. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning

such loss of data. Furthermore, Roland does not warrant any

copied data, regardless of the performance or condition of the

external drive.
