Title: 25 | How to let XXHighEnd format a Volume (more advanced)
Post by: PeterSt on June 20, 2012, 07:06:51 pm
This can be applicable to your Playback Drive/Folder.

When you set your Folder Options to show Hidden Files as well as System Files, you may see these two folders :

With insufficient rights this will error when XXHighEnd needs to format the Volume (when playback starts an error message will tell you something like No reference set to an Object). In that case go to the properties of the System Volume Information folder, rightclick on it and choose Properties.
Edit : This (see picture) may not work at all, and it is better to skip to the part after the picture where we format the drive manually.

Choose the Security tab you see above on the screen behind, click the Advanced button in there and choose the Permissions tab on the frontmost screen you see above, and check the checkbox where the mouse pointer is.

Now it should work.


The whole proplem can be avoided when you do to a command prompt (Run - cmd) and format the drive with a Dos command. Supposed this is about drive F: you can do

format F: /fs:exFAT /q [enter]

The remainder goes automatically assumed that the defaults can be used (you may (!) need to enter the existing volume name and for sure the new one (which can be the same as the existing one -> later you can Rename it via Explorer).

Now mentioned files won't be there at all, or will at least not bother you (XXHighEnd).
