Problem: I want to reformat the PMA430’s hard disk.
Answer: You can do this, but it will erase ALL of the data on your PMA430. Sometimes this may
be necessary if your FAT (File Allocation Table) becomes so corrupted that nothing seems to fix
your file problems. First, as explained below, you should run ScanDisk or the DOS chkdsk (Check
Disk) program to try to fix your problem. If this doesn’t fix your problem and you are sure you
must reformat the PMA430 hard disk, then see the system recover chapter for details.
Windows
®
ME Running Scan-Disk (Error Checking)
Quit all running applications.
Properly connect the PMA430 to your computer as explained in the chapter on
connecting to your computer.
Make sure external AC adapter is powering the PMA430.
Right click on the PMA430 hard disk in Windows
®
Explorer and select Properties.
Select the Tools option and run the Error checking program
Make sure you check the box to automatically fix errors.
Be patient, this may take a while. Windows
®
may ask you to restart the computer to
make certain Windows files available. This is OK, click on Yes.
Windows

XP & 2000 Running Check Disk Utility (ChkDsk)
If you still have problems with the file system on your PMA430 you can try to fix it using the
DOS utility, check disk (chkdsk). Do the following;
Make sure external AC adapter is powering the PMA430.
Quit all running applications.
Properly connect the PMA430 to your computer as explained in the disconnection
chapter.
Wait patiently (up to 5 minutes) for Windows XP to show the local drive as mounted.
Open a DOS window. Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
At the prompt, type chkdsk e: /f . Use e: or f: or whatever drive letter is representing
your PMA430. The /f argument tells the program to automatically fix errors.
Be patient, this may take a while.
When it is finished, exit the DOS Window and properly disconnect the PMA430 from
your computer.
