Understanding the Drive Check Report
The most important part of the Drive Check Report is the line at its top left that either
says “No Err”—as in the illustration above—or “(x) Err,” where “x” equals the number
of errors found. If Drive Check does find errors, it lists them in the report—turn the
Time/Value dial to view them. Items marked with “OK” have no problems.
Here’s what some of the terms in the report mean:
•
Cluster
—the smallest chunk of disk data the VS-2400CD reads and writes.
•
Cross link (X-Link)
—a case in which audio from one project is mistakenly referenced
by another. This may cause one project’s audio to be heard during playback of
another.
•
Loose Area
—a chunk of orphaned audio data not associated with any project.
•
Directories
—the list of each drive’s files and where they’re located on the disk. If a
directory becomes confused or damaged, you may see “IllegalDIR” error messages.
About Drive Check’s Repair Capabilities
If Disk Check finds a problem it can attempt to fix it for you by deleting the data that’s
causing the trouble you’re experiencing. Often—once the damaged data is removed—
the problems that led you to Drive Check disappear.
When you begin a Drive Check repair, the VS-2400CD warns you that you’ll lose data.
The fact is that the data you’ll lose is no longer any good anyway, as evidenced by the
fact that you’ve been experiencing problems and that Drive Check has targeted the
data for deletion.
Running Drive Check
1. Hold down SHIFT and press F1 (PROJECT).
2. Select the drive you want to check.
3. If “DrvChk” isn’t visible over F1, press PAGE until it is.
This: Refers to:
Total Total number of clusters
Defect Number of damaged or unusable clusters
Used Number of clusters in use
Free Number of clusters not yet used
X-Link Err Number of cross links
Loose Area Number of orphaned clusters
Illegal Dir Number of directories with incorrect information
Read Error Number of data-reading problems during the check
After Drive Check resolves a problem, we recommend backing up all of your data, re-
formatting the drive and recovering the backed-up data to ensure that no lingering
problems remain.
