Initialization of the external memory begins.

When initialization is completed, you’re returned to the “File” screen.

Formatting Media (Format)

The process of preparing USB Memory or floppy disks so that they can be used with the HPi-6S is called

“initialization” (formatting).

In certain cases, particularly with floppy disks, the media is formatted for a specific type of device. If the media

format does not match the HPi-6S’s, you will not be able to use that media with the HPi-6S.

If connecting an optional floppy

disk drive, substitute “floppy

disk” wherever the term “USB

memory” appears here.

NOTE

hen an external memory is

initialized, all of the data saved

on the external memory is

erased. If you’re formatting a

used external memory for

reuse, be sure to check first to

make sure the external memory

doesn’t contain any data you

don’t want to lose.

NOTE

You cannot select <Format>

without any external memory

connected to the External

Memory connector.

When initializing floppy disks,

check to make sure that the

disk’s write protect tab is slid to

the “write” position (p. 10).

NOTE

Do not remove the storage

media until the initialization is

completed.

NOTE

If “Error” appears on screen,

take a look at “Error Message”

(p. 114).
