Saving and Loading Song Data
<Quick Troubleshooting>
If you are stuck in one of the following situations, refer to the explanations below for corrective actions.
# The FD-8 displays the following during the save
operation using a SCSI backup drive:
The backup disk contains some data and does not have
enough free space to record new data. The FD-8 is ask-
ing you whether or not the existing data should be de-
leted. Take one of the following actions:
* If you wish to delete the existing data:
Press the EXECUTE/YES key twice. Pressing the key once
causes [Del. ALL ?] and [SURE ?] to flash, and pressing it
again deletes the existing data so that you will be able
to continue the save operation.
* If you do not wish to delete the existing data:
Turn the JOG dial to display [Eject], then press the EX-
ECUTE/YES key. The disk will be ejected. Insert another
backup disk in the drive.
# When you inserted a SCSI backup disk into the
backup drive to save data, the following messages
appeared in turn and the disk was ejected.

The FD-8 recognizes that the backup disk cannot be used
in its current condition. There are two reasons for this.
* You inserted a disk that was used for the current drive.
* The disk's recording mode differs from that of the data
to save or load.
For example, the disk used to save or load data in Mas-
tering mode is inserted to save data in Normal mode.
That is, you tried to use a disk (that was once used to
save or load data in a particular recording mode) to save
data in a different recording mode.

To be able to use the ejected disk, you need to re-format
it as described below.
* Quit SETUP mode and return to the Time Base display
of the current disk, then insert the disk in the backup
drive.
* Select the [Bk Format ?] menu in SETUP mode and re-
format the backup disk.
