If the drive is not connected or the SCSI ID's don't match, you might receive the message when
you press
Please check your SCSI cables and that the drive is switched on (it does happen!). Also,
please check the SCSI ID settings of both the drive and the CD3000XL. You will also get this
message if a removable type of hard disk is being used and the disk is not inserted in the drive.

NOTES ON USING EXISTING S1000/S1100 SOUND LIBRARY

The CD3000XL allows 510 items to be saved on a floppy or hard disk. On the S1000 and
S1100, 64 items could be stored on floppy and 100 on a hard disk volume. As a result, the
whole format of the directories is completely different.
S1000 and S1100 disks can, of course, be loaded with no problem. However, if you try to save
to a disk that was formatted on an S1000 or S1100, because the disk directory has now
changed, the S1000/1100 disk has to be reformatted. When you perform a save, if you use
, this process is done automatically for you. If, however, you use
the CD3000XL will remind you:
You may either specifically go through the formatting procedure yourself or you may simply
press
.
The same is true of hard disk volumes. Simply using the
hard disk volume that was originally formatted using an S1000 or S1100, will cause this
message to be displayed:
This is saying that this volumes directory needs to be re-written in the CD3000XL format. To do
this, you should use
the volumes as normal.
WHEN USING A HARD DISK, THE ACTION OF KILLING A VOLUME APPLIES
ONLY TO THAT VOLUME. THIS IS NOT A FULL FORMATTING PROCEDURE.
WHEN YOU SEE THE PROMPT, USE
DISK AS THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON IT.
If you are at all apprehensive about 'killing' the hard disk volume, save to another empty
volume.
