The Avid Media Processor cannot read a diskette.
If you see a message that a diskette is unreadable, try one of the
following:
¥ If the diskette has never been used, you may simply need to
initialize it.
¥ The diskette drive may need cleaning. Contact your local com-
puter store.
¥ The diskette might be damaged.
If you are trying to use a DOS diskette:
¥ The diskette might have been formatted incorrectly on a DOS
computer. On DOS computers it is possible to format a standard
double-sided diskette in a high-density (1.44 K) format, and vice
versa. Diskettes formatted this way cannot be read by an Avid
Media Processor.
When formatting diskettes on a DOS computer, always format
standard double-sided diskettes in the 720 K format. Always
format high-density diskettes in the 1.44 K format.
If a diskette has been formatted incorrectly, use a DOS computer to
copy its contents onto another diskette that has been properly
formatted.
The pointer does not move when you move the mouse.
The mouse is not connected properly, or its signals are not reaching the
Avid Media Processor, or there is a software error.
¥ Turn off the Avid Media Processor using the power button, check
that the mouse cable is connected properly, then restart the Avid
Media Processor.
¥ Restart the Avid Media Processor and press the keyboard Tab key
and verify different desktop icons highlight with each press.
¥ Clean the mouse.
