Formatting an External Storage Device
Formatting an External Storage Device
The MRS-1044 series can format a connected hard disk or media in a connected ZIP or MO drive. This is required before
using ZIP or MO media or a hard disk for the first time.
When formatting is executed, all data present on the media is lost and cannot be restored.
Take care not to accidentally format a disc which contains data that you wish to keep.
