2.2. Hard Disk Formatting
Formatting is required when the format of an installed hard disk cannot be recognized by
the digital video recorder, most likely a hard disk that has not been used by the video
server. Another purpose of disk formatting is to clean up recording space and redeem the
file allocation.
An unrecognized hard disk will be formatted automatically after TeleEye GX starts up.
Formatting will erase all data inside the disk. Hence make sure that important data has
been backed up before performing this function. Once it is reconstructed, it would be
readable and writable by the digital video recorder.
User can also perform disk formatting manually. The function can be found in the OSD
menu:
[Main Menu] [HDD/Recording] [Disk Management]
Format:
Format the selected hard disk
Format All:
Format all installed hard disks
2.3. Hard Disk Scanning
Hard disk scanning is a maintenance function similar to the Scan Disk function provided by
the operating system of a personal computer. This function is provided in an attempt to
rescue the hard disk in case errors are found, and to enhance its performance and
reliability. The function can be found in the OSD menu:
[Main Menu] [HDD/Recording] [Disk Management]
. Clicking on the
[Scan All]
button will start scanning all installed hard disk.
