Formatting Fat-32 Discs on the PC
A disk can be formatted and initialized as a FAT-32 volume on the MX-2424 as well as on a PC.
To format a disk on the PC using a Windows 98 system:
1) Connect drive to a Windows-98 machine (via SCSI card).
2) Run FDISK, and create a DOS partition on the desired disk. Be sure you have the correct
disk selected.
3) Format the drive.
4) In the Device Manager, select the drive properties for the drive
just formatted, and check the box labeled "removable".
5) Restart the system as instructed.
6) When removing a drive from the Windows desktop (pulling it out
of the Kingston carrier) always hit the refresh button in the Device Manager so that Windows
knows the drive was removed.
7) The drive can now be mounted onto the MX-2424.
8) When bringing back a FAT-32 volume from the MX-2424 onto your PC, hit the
refresh button in the Device Manager again to make the drive appear on your desktop.
When mounting a removable FAT-32 disk from the MX-2424 onto the Windows, it is best to
completely reboot the PC after mounting the drive. It is also best to reboot Windows after the
removable disk has been unmounted. This is due to issues with Windows 98’s disk memory, and
will perform more reliably than the “refresh” command in Windows Device Manager.
Windows Compatibility
FAT-32 disks used on the MX-2424 have been qualified to work with Windows 98, but not with
Windows 2000. ViewNet MX is compatible with Windows 2000.
Support for “TL Imports” Folder
In previous versions of MX-2424 software, a “disk cleanup” would delete any audio files on a disk not
referenced by a project. With Version 1.10, the user can mount a drive on a computer and create a folder
at the root level of the drive called "TL_Imports". This folder will not be affected during a disk cleanup
erformed on the MX2424 (will not delete files in this folder).
p
It is often useful to have certain files on a disk that can always be available to import into a project and
never be deleted.
Support for Multi-Travan Tape Backup/Restore
MX-2424 Version 1.10 adds support for spanning Travan tapes during a large backup and restore. This is
similar to performing multi-DVD-RAM backups, where the MX-2424 will request for another Travan
tape (“insert next tape”) when the end o
multiple Travan or DVD-RAM media.
