Understanding the Drive Check Report
The most important part of the Drive Check Report is the line at its top left that either
says "No Err"—as in the illustration above—or "(x) Err," where "x" equals the number
of errors found. If Drive Check does find errors, it lists them in the report—turn the
Time/Value dial to view them. Items marked with "OK" have no problems.
Here's what some of the terms in the report mean:

About Drive Check's Repair Capabilities
If Disk Check finds a problem it can attempt to fix it for you by deleting the data that's
causing the trouble you're experiencing. Often—once the damaged data is removed—
the problems that led you to Drive Check disappear.
After Drive Check resolves a problem, we recommend backing up all of your data, re-
formatting the drive and recovering the backed-up data to ensure that no lingering
problems remain.
When you begin a Drive Check repair, the VS-2400CD warns you that you'll lose data.
The fact is that the data you'll lose is no longer any good anyway, as evidenced by the
fact that you've been experiencing problems and that Drive Check has targeted the
data for deletion.

Running Drive Check

1. Hold down SHIFT and press F1 (PROJECT).
2. Select the drive you want to check.

Cluster—the smallest chunk of disk data the VS-2400CD reads and writes.
Cross link (X-Link)—a case in which audio from one project is mistakenly referenced
by another. This may cause one project's audio to be heard during playback of
another.
Loose Area—a chunk of orphaned audio data not associated with any project.
Directories—the list of each drive's files and where they're located on the disk. If a
directory becomes confused or damaged, you may see "IllegalDIR" error messages.
