Depending on your Physical Format and Surface Scan settings—and the size of the
drive—formatting can take anywhere from a few moments to several hours.

for new projects. The PROJECT menu’s Clear Partition operation performs this task.
Clearing a Drive/Partition
1. Press PROJECT.
2. Select the drive you wish to clear.
3. If “ClrPrt” isn’t visible above F3, press PAGE until it is.

5. Set Surface Scan to:
Off
—to skip a check of the hard drive platter’s surface during initialization.
On
—so that it checks the surface of the hard drive’s platter by performing an
automatic read/write test after initialization. This can take a while, but it’s a
good thing to do periodically.
6. Press F5 (OK). The VS-2480 asks if you’re sure you want to clear selected drive:
Do not
interrupt the formatting operation before it’s finished.
Clearing a drive has no effect on fragmentation. Only backing up your projects and re-
formatting a hard drive can de-frag it.
