The machine provides two types of download modes; although any of the two may be

used to download all files, select with care if you want to format the hard disk (select the

HD Format), as a specific partition must be selected.

You can use any of the two when using a parallel cable; however, the use of a network

cable will require you to start up the machine's network environment, necessitating the use

of downloading in service mode.
