There is also a popular control panel add on for "SCSI probe" which is helpful, check various Mac shareware sites for it.

Formatting your hard drive is a method of cleaning the system of all the old files and bugs that may be active. Furthermore it is a requirement prior to installingto a new hard drive. It was thought previously that formatting hard drives could be damaging to the hardware and it would affect its performance so much that it could lead to the loss of data. Formatting a hard drive can help eliminate file corruption, correct slow running systems and get rid of error messages that keep popping up. See similar questions...

When an unformatted hard drive or CF is inserted into the recorder the user is prompted to format media if it is not already a FAT32 volume. If a new Compact Flash or hard drive has audio or other data files present but the medium is not a FAT32 volume, the 7-Series will see the volume as unformatted and prompt for formatting. This will erase any data files on the drive. A volume already formatted as FAT32 installed into the machine will be ready to record immediately. See similar questions...

If you have your files on an old Mac with a SCSI drive internal or external; and your new Mac does not have a SCSI external connector or use SCSI drives internally, what can you do? I'll discuss many options. My GENERAL advice is as follows. EITHER use some kind of Mac which HAS SCSI to read your drive, and use it to transfer files either by connection or by transfer to another media (floppy, CD, ZIP disk). OR, you add some kind of SCSI hardware to your new Mac to read the drive. See similar questions...

We can scan existing texts and covers. During the process of scanning a book the cover and binding are destroyed. The final quality of the books that are subsequently printed is directly influenced by the shape of the original. There will be a degradation in quality in some cases (e.g. photographs) due to the process. The printed cover will approximate that of your monitor or printer but it will not be exactly alike.

If you were running the current release, download and install the evaluation version from our Telnet Magic Evaluation Download page and enter your license code. See similar questions...

It is best to have your OS on a separate partition than the rest of your data. This results in less fragmentation and ensures speedy operation of your system. If your hard drive is large enough, then partitioning is probably a good idea for you. Common practice is to have at least three partitions: one ~8GB for the OS, one ~10GB for Documents and other personal files, and whatever is left for programs. See similar questions...

Although Kaleidescape uses high quality hard disk drives, drives do fail occasionally. On average, drives in Kaleidescape Systems fail at a rate of one or two percent per year. To prevent loss of information from a drive failure, every Kaleidescape Server uses RAID-K to store redundant information. The 3U Server also features a Hot Spare Disk Cartridge as an additional measure of data protection. See similar questions...
