Warnings:
The XTV file system is based upon Fat32 but has some important changes. Some utilities try to treat it as a standard file system which is 'broken' and attempt to 'fix' it. For this reason please read these warnings:
-
It is highly recommended that you use an external hard drive caddy. If you choose to install the drive internally you need to watch the windows boot up process carefully and cancel any disk check operations. Windows sometimes tries to 'fix' the hard drive on boot up, corrupting all the recordings in the process. Using and external caddy will negate this risk as you can plug it in once the computer has booted up.
-
Some anti-virus applications can try to write to the disk, so it is recomended that you disable these while your hard drive is connected.
-
Automatic disk defragmenters should also be disabled as these can corrupt the disk.
