The Megabeat Pro can format both 2D Floppy (with just one window), and HD
Floppy (with two windows). The first ones will be automatically formatted at
720 KB, the second ones at 1.44 MB.
Let’s see now how to follow the formatting procedure of a Floppy Disk:
1. Insert the Floppy Disk in the Floppy driver making sure the safety window
is in the “non protected” position (the window is closed). If not, when you
start the formatting procedure the Megabeat Pro will display the following
message:
NOT READY
And the formating operation won’t take place.
2. From the DISK UTILITIES menu select the DISK FORMAT function and
press the SELECT function key. On the display you will see the message:
FLOPPY DISK FORMAT
WARNING !! #
FORMAT WILL CLEAR ALL YOUR DATA!
ARE YOU SURE?
YES NO
3. Press YES to start the formatting operation, NO to cancel the operation.
4. During the formatting the display will show the status of the operation
showing track and cylinder.
5.15.3 Hard Disk RECOVER
This function recovers the indexes in alphabetical order and checks the groups
integrity.
This function lets you solve any problems you could have using the Hard Disk:
! sometime the data on the Hard Disk could be damaged (for instance after a
black out of electric power during a writing operation on disk).
! If due to reading/writing operations on disk the Megabeat Pro display
should give error messages, you can try to solve these problems with the
H.DISK RECOVER function.
