When You Cannot Save a Song to a Single Disk
Handling of Archive Copy Disks
To save songs in archive format, the destination disk must be
initialized.
This initialization procedure differs from the usual Drive
Initialize formatting.
This procedure lets you carry out Archive Copy with newly
purchased disks, disks which previously have been used with
a personal computer or other device, or other disks which have
not been formatted with Drive Initialize.
However, any song data saved to the disk is lost once the
Archive Copy procedure is performed.
Additionally, you cannot designate a disk containing archive
format songs as the current drive.
If you try to do this, the disk is identified as being an
{uninitialized disk}.
