Selecting certain tracks for import/export
When you're working in the Track window, you don't have to select
only tracks or files that are all in a row. If desired, you can
"leapfrog" over tracks which you do not want to import or export.
To choose specific tracks, click on the ones you want to transfer
while holding the Control key.
Another selection shortcut is to Select All (Control A) and then
de-select the tracks you don't want to transfer by clicking on those
tracks while holding the Control key.
Making imported tracks go where you want
An easy way to tell FST/Connect where you want certain tracks to
be placed on the FST drive is to navigate within Windows to the
folder that contains them, and then rename them using the desired
track numbers somewhere in the file names (before the two- or
three-letter extensions).
Useful Information
How the PC views your FST Drive
When you start using a hard drive with FST/Connect for the first
time, you should use FST/Connect to format it. If you use
Windows' Disk Management utility to format the drive, you will
still need to format it using FST/Connect before you will be able
to use it with FST/Connect.
Once you have used FST/Connect to format the drive, it will show
up as an unrecognized drive in Windows. This means you will not
be able to locate it using Windows Explorer. Also, your PC will not
recognize the FST drive's format when you look at it using the
Disk Management utility. It will be identified as "Unknown."
After there is FST data on the drive, you should not attempt to
format the FST drive using Windows. If you do you will destroy
your adat FST data.
It is also not possible to partition the hard drive so that it contains
a combination of an FST partition and a Windows partition. The
two formats are incompatible.
Neither should you attempt to defragment the FST drive using any
form of disk utility. The Alesis file system was designed to keep
file fragmentation to the absolute minimum. Besides, the FST drive
has a proprietary method of file organization that a third-party
disk utility would be highly unlikely to interpret properly.
