just clear the file allocation table of the hard drive. For large-capacity hard
drives this operation can take several hours.

[OK] to cancel the initialization while it is in progress. All recordings will
be erased and the hard drive can be used without any problem.

the data on the hard drive (including your recordings, previ-
ous data not saved with the camcorder, and partitioned
drives). Make sure to copy in advance important data to a
