vergergc Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hi all,I'm trying to use my RH10 as an external storage device for my PC. Isn't there a setting somewhere to allocate so much space on a 1GB disc for non-audio file storage vs. song files? I can't find anything to refresh my memory on this. Can someone point me in the right direction?Cheers!Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobS Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 No setting, just copy files to disk. Do not use the HiMD directory (that is where the audio files are). Do not erase the hidden files in the root. You can make directories (folders) or put files in the root. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I'd think it would move as much of that folder (by individual files) as it could before showing the disk is full message.Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried a combo to see how it worked, but that doesn't seem to make sense for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobS Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Combo disks are handy. I often put info about the recording on the same disk as the audio. Liner notes, pictures, biographies, lyrics etc. I have never had a problem. Keep in mind the limits of FAT16, a limited number of files and/or folders in the root (511, if I remember correctly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
