----------------------------------
SST provides the ability to properly format new hard drives or re-format corrupted hard drives in Canon Image RUNNERs.
Sometimes you will try to format a drive and will receive a message advising you that the unit has an invalid disk installed. This message indicates that the Image RUNNER has a non-standard (Read: Non-Canon) HDD installed and the SST does not recognize it.
When you load the firmware for a Canon device into the SST part of the information provided is a list of valid hard drive designations for the model. This list of HDD's not only specifies the name of each valid drive type but also the hardware specifications such as number of read/write heads, platters, surfaces, segment sizes and other technical data describing the features and capacity of the HDD to the SST.
Canon updates these lists when they use different forms of drives in the different models of copiers and when you install a more recent version of the firmware for a model into your SSTyou are also updating this list of HDD's.
You can not read the list of additional supported HDD's on this series because the HDFormat.itf file is Encrypted.
Canon now Encrypts these files on newer models (SECURITY & COST ISSUES)
================================================== ========
Believe u will need the Canon OEM HDD
+ there is no firmware on HDD/ & it has not been formated
u need to have the C5045 SERIES Firmware registered in SST >
then u have to select C5045 Format File>
if this format file does not recognize HDD u will receive a NOT FOUND message
