Option 506
Option 506 supports three different external hard drives. Check
the ARCHIVES folder on the Advisor software CD if you need to
recreate disks that can be used with your Option 506 external
hard drive.
When creating an Option 506 disk set, make sure all the disks you create
are copied from the set of images in a single folder. These disks cannot be
mismatched, or problems will be seen.
