Clear Partition
You can erase, or "initialize," the contents of a single drive—a partition—to make room
for new projects. The PROJECT menu's Clear Partition operation performs this task.
Clearing a drive has no effect on fragmentation. Only backing up your projects and re-
formatting a hard drive can de-frag it.
Clearing a Drive/Partition
1. Hold down SHIFT and press F1 (PROJECT).
2. Select the drive you wish to clear.
3. If "ClrPrt" isn't visible above F3, press PAGE until it is.

•
Off (Quick)—for faster formatting if you're re-formatting a VS-2400CD hard
drive just to clear it quickly.
•
On—if the hard drive is being formatted for the VS-2400CD for the first time or
during your monthly maintenance. If you have time—Physical Format extends
the formatting process considerably (40 minutes or more)—use Physical
Format to absolutely eliminate any lingering data corruption.
•
Off—to skip a check of the hard drive platters' surfaces during formatting.
•
On—so that it checks the surfaces of the hard drive's platters by performing an
automatic read/write test after formatting. This can take a while (30 minutes or
more), but it's a good thing to do periodically.
If you pressed ENTER/YES, the VS-2400CD double-checks to make sure you want
to proceed, since you're about to erase everything that's on the selected hard drive.
If you pressed ENTER/YES, the VS-2400CD asks if you want to save any recent
changes to the currently loaded project.
Depending on your Physical Format and Surface Scan settings, formatting can take
anywhere from a few moments to several hours.
