I'm looking for a little help getting started in the digital hard drive format. First of all, can anyone tell me on the VSR 880 how to reclaim used hard drive space? I've recorded nothing I care to keep, only a few seconds of tests, but it seems to have drastically reduced the available minutes of recording time from the 500s to the 190s, or so. Moreover, I initialized the disk in the effort to reclaim, and I believe I lost that awesome demo song that comes with the unit. I think its called Spiderweb or something. Anyway, how can I be 100% sure either way, if I lost or if I can somehow find it on the hard drive? The only reason I care is I assume if I get it back, I'm basically going to get the hard drive back to the condition it was in when I opened the box. The manuals linguistically seem like they were transcribed by a computer from Chinese or something to English and I'm not making too much sense of them. (I'm basically used to tape based reel to reel and this is all foreign to me.) I believe I have partitioned the drives correctly, AFTER initializing the disk, however. With these, or any other issues, can anyone post any advise for me?
