Chapter 17 Using Hard Drives
Initializing (Formatting) the Drive
A new drive, or a drive that was used by another device,
cannot be used on the VS-1824 as is. You must initialize the
drive so it can be used by the VS-1824. When a drive is
initialized, all existing data on that drive is erased—all of its
contents are irretrievably lost. Check any such drive you plan
to initialize to make sure it does not contain anything you
don’t want deleted. Drives used with the VS-1824 cannot be
used on other devices, such as personal computers.

CAUTION: If you are using a drive or disk that has been
