  • Reformatting HDD on AJA Ki Pro

    Posted by Jason Wilson on June 8, 2011 at 6:32 pm

    My manager brought me the 500 gig HDD from our AJA Ki Pro and told me he got a message saying it needed to be reformatted on our Mac. I reformatted it using Disk Utility, but it still doesn’t work.

    Is it dead? Am I doing/have I done something immensely stupid? Any suggestions are welcome. 🙂

    Thanks!

    In all likelihood, the Ki Pro produced a “Backup and Reformat” prompt due to a directory error on the disk. You could have connected the Ki Pro Storage Module to a Mac, backed up the files by copying them, and then reinserting the Storage Module in the Ki Pro and formatting via the MEDIA menu.

    If you are having trouble reading the drive in the Ki Pro, you should consider contacting AJA Technical Support for assistance. They can be reached via phone or email free of charge.
