7. ABOUT HDD MANAGER

Our duplicator uses rational and dynamic HDD management technology. The traditional
method of formatting an HDD requires you to choose the number of partitions designated
for DVDs and CDs before formatting your hard drive. The problem is that you might not be
able to predict how many DVDs or CDs you will load onto your hard drive. Many
incomplete partitions can be created, mainly with new DVD disks constantly coming out,
such as the double- layer DVD. You need an intelligent and more dynamic way to
manage your HDD and our HDD manager can do that for you!

Our Dynamic HDD Manager consists of the following special features:

I. Auto Detect Disc Capacity and Dynamically Assign Partitions

1. When you first format the built-in HDD, our duplicator will automatically divide the HDD into 1GB
partitions. A DVD or CD partition does not have to be selected in the beginning.

2. You can check HDD information in function 12.6 HDD Info. The Hard Drive’s capacity is presented in

terms of how many DVD or CD discs you can load. For example, if your built-in HDD is 80GB, then the

system will show the HDD available capacity:

3. Every time a source disc is loaded, the duplicator will auto detect the disc capacity and assign

4. Dynamic calculated and display HDD capacity. The duplicator will present built-in HDD capacity

Before load 4GB DVD HDD info:

8 DVD

or

40 CD

• Note: DVD is calculated by 5GB, and CD is calculated by 1GB.

correct partitions for it. For example, if you load a 4GB double-layer DVD disc into HDD as a disc
image, the system will automatically detect and assign 4 partitions for it.

information dynamically depending on your loaded source disc’s capacity. For instance, before loading a
4GB DVD disc as source disc image, the HDD information shows the HDD capacity that is available for
loading 5 DVD or 26 CDs. However, after loading a 4GB DVD, the system will re-calculate the total
available partitions and display how many DVD or CD discs you can load as disc image the next time.

Used: 2 DVD 3CD
Free : 5 DVD 26 CD

After load 4GB DVD HDD info:

Used: 3 DVD 3CD
Free : 4 DVD 22 CD

40GB / 5GB = 8

40GB / 1 GB = 40

Note: DVD indicates 5GB partition
and CD indicate 1GB partition

20

MF Digital 5907-VL Revised 10-21-05

II. Smart Image File Management:

1. When Discs are loaded into HDD as stored disc images, the system will assign a file name to the image
file beginning from A001~.

• Note: Each time a new disc image is loaded,

lowest number as the file name. For example, if there are no deleted files, the file name will be
assigned in sequence beginning from A001. However, if there is a deleted file, such as A003, then
the file name will be held. The next time there is a new disc image stored, the lowest number of A003
will be assigned as this new disc image’s file name

2. You are allowed to delete an image file by executing 12.5 delete image. Once an image file is deleted, the

name of the file will be left empty and held for a future loaded image file. The existing file name will not be
changed or moved ahead due to the deletion.

3. Use 12. 4 Image Info function to check image file information. The image information will display the
image file name, Disc type and file size.
