If the R-1 Operating System must be Reinstalled

If your R-1 system is not working to the point where you think you need to

reinstall the operating system, then you should call R-1 product support.

Completely rewriting the OS disk: Your R-1 documentation and software

includes a CD-ROM entitled R-1 Operating System Image and a floppy entitled R-1

Boot Disk – R-1 Recovery. If you boot the R-1 Pilot with the floppy and CD-ROM

loaded into their respective drives, this will automatically reload all software in your

R-1 to a known working configuration. This method completely erases all data and

programs from the R-1 Pilot and rebuilds the software components cleanly to the

configuration that shipped from the factory.

Under typical circumstances there should be nothing absolutely essential on the

R-1 Pilot, so replacing all disk contents in one operation is the best solution and the

most reliable. However, there are circumstances where you might need to save data

from the R-1 first. Please read and consider the following. The saving of data from

the R-1 Pilot is not generally considered necessary and is not made easy by either

software or data organization. You should be reasonably adept at using the Windows

operating system.

Safety Copies of All Titles Saved from this machine will be lost. A Safety copy

of each Title is written to the host file system of the R-1 Pilot whenever the Title is

being saved. The master copy is written to the audio disk and will automatically be

restored to the system whenever that drive is loaded. The Safety copy is only an

extra back-up to the master copy. Euphonix recommends that you back up recent

Safety Tiles to a floppy when you are backing up the audio. If you are about to erase

the contents of the R-1 Pilot, you may want to get some or all of these files from the

Safety Titles directory.

C:\EUPHONIX\TITLES\*.*

Because Titles can be backed up regularly, there are shortcuts for copying these

files. The Safety Titles directory can be accessed directly from the Start Menu in

Windows 98SE. Select the desired files within this window and drag the files to the

the 3½ Floppy (A) displayed on the Desktop.

Exported Sound Files will be lost. When you export a Sound File to WAV format

on the host it typically is stored in –

C:\EUPHONIX\SOUND FILES\

Because Sound Files are intended for uses separate from the R-1, there are

shortcuts for copying these files. The Sound Files directory can be accessed directly

from the Start Menu in Windows 98SE. Launch this window and select the desired

files. You will probably want to launch the Windows Explorer found under Programs

of the Start Menu, then navigate to a network drive large enough for exported audio.

Typically these files are too large for a floppy diskette. If the exported sounds are

short enough to be less than 1.4 MB, they can be dragged to the 3½ Floppy (A)

displayed on the Desktop.
