Formatting the HDD

Formatting on a

PC (Win2000/XP)

Use the Disk Management

Utility

•Right click on “My

Computer” and choose

“Manage”

•Select “Disk Management”

•Choose the drive you want

to format and right click on

the Disk or drive field for

further commands

•Create a primary NTFS

partition and format it

•Follow the Wizard

instructions

You can also format TVisto using FAT32 but this will have the limitation of max disk being

32GB and max file size being 4GB. Note: To be able to use the TVisto on all Operating

Systems, you will need to use FAT32. To create one single disk over 32GB use the DOS

command prompt and the “fdisk” command on Win98/SE or WinME. You may also use

3rd party software to create the partition but make sure it is a primary partition.

Formatting on a Mac OS X

Use the Disk Utility to format

your drive and create a single

partition on your external disk.

•Select “Disk Utility” in the

utilities folder

•Choose your external

drive and format it

according to your

requirement. For Mac only,

choose “Mac OS

Extended”

Be aware that formatting the

drive will erase all data on it!

NOTE: To be able to use the TVisto on all Operating Systems, you will need to use

FAT32, also called MS-DOS on the Mac OS (max file size limited to 1GB!). To create one

single primary partition over 32GB for files up to 4GB, use the DOS command prompt

and the “fdisk” command on Win98/SE or WinME.

■

Creating the Directories

For TVisto to be able to find the files on the hard drive, four (4) folders with the exact name

shown below must be created first! ALL the prerequisite folders should have the READ

ONLY attribute and should never be deleted or renamed, because your TVisto uses

these exact names as a reference to locate the respective files. Under these directories

you can have any directory structure that is convenient to you. Create the folders as shown

below, now.

“Firmware”: this folder

contains the TVisto

firmware files. Inside this

folder there are two (2)

subfolders:

•“Font,” for Europe and

US, this is an empty

directory.

•“Settings” contains the

“Settings.txt” file. This

file is a Unicode text

file with two strings.

The first line string is

the default TV mode

(PAL or NTSC) in

which TVisto should

start before the user

applies his settings.

The second line string

is the string used from

the TVisto screen saver. This string is user editable and should not be more than 16

characters. Create this file if required, otherwise leave the folder empty.

“Movies”: This folder contains your movie files.

“Music”: This folder contains your music files.

“Pictures”: This folder contains your image files.

If you need a directory to transfer your files from one computer to another, you may certainly

create more directories and name it whatever you like. These folders won’t affect TVisto but

will NOT show up on your TV screen!

Font Support

For additional font support other then English, we recommend copying the ‘Arial Unicode MS’

font to the “Font” folder located in the “Firmware” directory. On a PC, you can find this font by

going to Control Panel and then selecting Fonts. After copying the font to TVisto, rename the

file to “font.ttf”. Example: If the original is “arialuni.ttf,” rename it to “font.ttf”.

You may use any other Unicode true type font (TTF) you have or which is available on the

internet, but remember to rename the file to “font.ttf’ after copying it to TVisto.
