Re: Bizhub c224e HDD Format Question

Hi all,





Today for example I tried a couple of used HDD's in a working C224e but got a C-D011 error.

i have used 320s and 250s remove all partitions ,install, physical then logical format. works every time. sometimes can get away with just logical. fyi hdds with bh secure will appear as bad drives, in pcs. need physical format in a konica copier. to be usable.

Just follow the manual, there's really no need to preformat HDD, also Emperon controller is Linux system so why Windows partitions?

Wasn't aware of your post when typing/sending mine. I see nothing wrong with your advice

Thanks for the info.

So say I took a 320gb drive from a laptop that had Windows XP installed on previously, I would usually plug the drive into a USB caddy to format in Windows.

Using Win 10 the only options I have is to format as NTFS or exFAT which option should I choose!?

you never ever ever format a HDD going into a copier.
just remove all the partitions in disk management, create a single partition and unplug. do not format.
install in copier then follow previous advice.
