Maintaining Drives with Disk First Aid
Every drive has a directory or drive index that tells the system where
Þles reside. If the drive directory becomes damaged or corrupted, the
system will not be able to locate the Þles.
If the system is reporting drive errors or if Þles cannot be opened, try
running Disk First Aid to Þnd and repair errors on the drive before
reformatting or calling Avid Broadcast Customer Support.
Using Disk First Aid
You can avoid drive errors by running Disk First Aid regularly. To use
Disk First Aid:
1. Insert the Disk Tools diskette in the drive and restart the Avid
Media Processor. (The Disk Tools diskette was included with the
system software and documentation.)
n
Disk First Aid can be installed in the Utilities folder on the Avid system
drive. The Disk First Aid application can be used to check and repair
MediaDrives from the system drive. If checking or repairing the system drive,
Disk First Aid must be used from the Disk Tool diskette.
2. Double-click the Disk First Aid icon on the drive to start the
application.
