If a disk error is found, it is possible to erase only the
data that was lost as a result of the error (Recover). I.e.,
the disk can be restored to a correct operating condi-
tion while keeping as much possible of the non-error
data.
* This procedure does not correct the disk error. All error
locations will be erased. This means that depending on the
location in which the error occurred, a take that was
recorded may no longer be playable, auto mix data may be
lost, or even the entire song itself may be erased. If the
error has occurred in the system or song list, the probabil-
ity of this danger is especially high.

Loose Areas
An error in which clusters not included in any
song are detected as containing valid data. In this
case, the VS-880EX will not store data in those
clusters. A situation which causes this error to
occur is called a loose area.
Directories
The VS-880EX stores data such as audio data or
parameter values on disk in units called files. In
order to manage large numbers of files, the VS-
880EX keeps lists of file names and the locations
on disk in which the data of these files is stored.
These lists are called directories.
The “IllegalDIR” message will appear when this
list is incorrect. For example, this message will
appear if the data of a certain file is supposed to
be recorded in an area of the disk which does not
actually exist, or if the list itself becomes perma-
nently unreadable.
