When using an unformatted disk for
the first time, make sure to properly
format it on the PF-1000. This
includes blank disks as well as disks
already initialized in a different
format. Formatting erases all data on
the disk.
Insert the disk with shutter facing
away from you and the label side
up. To start the Format operation,
press the [H] (DISK FORMAT)
button, in the DISK page above.
This function copies all the data
from one disk to another, letting
you back up all your important
F
data before editing. For
G
instructions, see "Copying from
Disk to Disk" below.

This function formats a floppy
J
disk (see below).

Insert the disk containing the
original data into the drive and
press "OK."
A "Now copying" message
appears, and the PF-1000
begins copying data to internal
memory. To abort the operation,
press "CANCEL."

When the operation is finished
(or when prompted), eject the
destination disk.
• Copying cannot be done
between a 2DD disk and
2HD disk. When copying,
make sure both disk are
the same type.
• Depending on the amount
of data contained in the
original source disk, you
may have to swap the two
disks several times until all
of the data is properly
copied.
• Make sure to read the
section "Using the Floppy
Disk Drive (FDD) and
Floppy Disks" on page 6.

Commercially available
music data is subject to
protection by copyright
laws. Copying commer-
cially available data is
strictly prohibited,
except for your own per-
sonal use. Some music
software is purposely
copy-protected and
cannot be copied.
The Format operation initial-
izes a disk with a specific file
system, allowing the corre-
sponding device (in this case,
the PF-1000) to access it
properly.
Since there are several types
of formats and disks avail-
able, you should know which
ones to use with the PF-
1000. 2DD disks are format-
ted to a capacity of 720 KB,
and 2HD disks are formatted
to a capacity of 1.44 MB.
CAUTION
Formatting a disk completely
erases all data on the disk.
Make sure that the disk
you're formatting does not
contain important data!
