Erase

Erase
The Erase function lets you erase files and folders from the disks.
With the Erase function you will be able to select the internal
memory (SSD device), and erase files from there. You cannot,
however, delete folders from the internal memory, since they are
used by the operating system.
Erase procedure
1. If erasing from a floppy disk, insert the disk into the disk
drive.
2. If needed, select a different device, by using the Device
pop-up menu.
3. If the file or folder you are looking for is inside another
folder, select this latter and press the Open button to open
it. Press the Close button to go back to the parent folder.
4.
Select the file or folder to erase.
5. Press Erase to delete the selected item.
Multiple file selection
See "Multiple file selection" on page 269 for information on how
to select more files or folders to be erased at the same time.

Format

The Format function lets you initialize a device.
Warning: When formatting a device, all data it contains is lost for-
ever!
Volume Label
Use this parameter to assign a name to the device to be format-
ted.
Press the (Text Edit) button to open the Text Edit window.
Enter the name, then press OK to confirm and close the Text
Edit window.
Quick Format
This is a very fast format command, that you can use on previ-
ously formatted disks. This command rewrites just the FAT (File
Allocation Table) of the disk, without actual reformatting of all
sectors.
If it cannot be executed, the "Quick Format failed. Full Format?"
message appears. Press Yes to proceed with the Full Format, or
No to cancel.
1. If formatting a floppy disk, insert a 3.5" HD or DD/DS
floppy disk into the disk drive, and select this option to for-
mat it.
If formatting a CD-RW, insert it into the CD drive.
2. Select the Quick Format option.
3. Press the Execute button in the display to confirm format-
ting.
4. The "If you confirm, all data in the HD/FD will be lost. Are
you sure?" message appears in the display. Press Yes to con-
firm, or No to cancel.
Note: When formatting the hard disk, an additional warning
appears, to avoid accidental data loss.
Full Format
This is the complete format command, where each sector of the
disk is formatted. It is slower than the Quick Format command,
but sometimes more reliable.
See above for the procedure.
Execute button
Press this button, after setting all the options in this page, to exe-
cute the Format command.
