Formatting Disks
New hard disks must be formatted before you can use them for recording. Formatting prepares a
disk for storing digital audio data. External disks and the internal hard disk are identified by their
SCSI ID. Make sure that you know the SCSI ID of the disk you want to format before starting this
procedure.
The DR16pro uses Akai DD-PLUS as its default disk format. It is also possible to format disks for
use on MACINTOSH computers.
To format a disk:
1) Press the SUB-MENU key.
The indicator in the key will flash and the text “SUB-MENU” will appear on the display.
2) Press the 1(DISK) key – numeric keypad.
The message “TIME” will appear on the display.
3) Use the JOG/SHUTTLE control to select the Format function.
You will see a display similar to the following:
ABS
S-M
4) Press the STORE/ENT key.
The message “SCSI ID 0 ” will appear on the display.
5) Use the JOG/SHUTTLE control to select a SCSI ID.
The selected SCSI ID should correspond to that of the disk that you want to format.
Caution:
If you have a number of disks connected, make sure that you select the correct
SCSI ID.
6) Press the STORE/ENT key.
You can now use the JOG/SHUTTLE control to select the type of disk that you want to format.
The options are:
“DD-PLUS”
This is the default Akai DR16pro disk format which allows 4000 files to be saved to a single
disk and will give the best performance for real-time recording and playback of audio.
“MACINTOSH”
This allows the disk to be formatted in Macintosh HFS format. Note that this option will create
a single volume, erasing all existing partitions on the disk. If you want to create multiple parti-
tions, it will be necessary to use a third-party Macintosh disk formatting program.
When the MACINTOSH format option is used, the disk may later be read on any Macintosh
subject to the following limitations in various versions of the Mac OS:
System 7.1 can only support volumes up to a maximum size of 2 gigabytes
System 7.5 can recognise volumes up to a maximum size of 4 gigabytes (which is cur-
rently the maximum size supported by Protools and many other products)
System 7.5.3 and above can recognise volumes up to a maximum size of 2 Terrabytes
