Topic: JB3 formating?

[Bdifr78]

Hey I feel like a tool asking this, especially since I have done this before.  What are the steps again for formatting the hard drive on a jb3.  The jb3 FAQ link is not working and I need to format that bitch before I set out for all good tomorrow.

Thanks,
Joe

how often should one reformat the HD?

I have heard once a month.  But I don't really do that.  I do however want to completly clear my jb3 and don't want to spend the time deleting each file manually, hence the need for formatting.

JB3 FAQ works for me. See sections 330 and 340

thanks
does anyone know if it will work plugged in vs with the battery?

1. Remove the battery or press the reset button.
2. Either while reinserting the battery or after reset ensure that the stop button is held down.
3. As soon as the 'Creative' logo appears on the screen during the boot sequence, release the stop button. Immediately press and release the play button. The unit should boot to a diagnostics mode with several recovery options.

i ass u me that pressing the reset button is what is ment by "remove the battery OR press the rest button"
