6. Click on the table row to choose which partition you will load the 
image onto.  The row selected will be highlighted in blue.  The letter 
you see in the Index column is the same as the letter used to locate the

Mode off). 
  WARNING - Please DO	NOT	USE the first partition when loading 
files. This partition will be used by the duplicator as temporary storage.

file type is used by the duplicator in stand alone mode when you 
load a disc onto the HDD using the Image Load feature.
b. Click the Load	From	.ISO	file to load a standard ISO image file. 
To	create	ISO	images	from	your 	computer,	you	can	install	the	
Nero	software	(see	disc	included).	See	page	29	for 	detailed	
instructions	about	the	Nero	software.	
c. The Load	From	.DVM	file is also available.
 
7. If you want to load an image such as an already existing ISO image, 
choose the Load	From	ISO	file and locate the file that you wish to load.

11. If you would like to edit the image information so that you can easily 
find the image, select the “Edit Title” button at the top of the Manage 
Images screen to add a description to the selected image file.
12. If you would like to export the image files on the duplicator’s HDD 
onto the PC, select the image that you would like to export. Then click 
the Export	to	(ISO,	CPM,	DVM)	file button. This option is useful if 
you do not have an original ISO file and had loaded a disc image in 
the RoboRacer MultiDrive SA using the Image Load feature, which as 
described earlier will create a .CPM image file.

Troubleshooting	Image	Manager
1. If the Image manager is not starting and the screen displays this Error 
message, please make sure that the duplicator is in USB Mode. The 
duplicator’s screen will display as “Leave USB Mode, Press ESC Key” 
while it is in USB Mode.
2. To make sure the duplicator has been properly installed in Windows, go 
to Device Manager and check to make sure that the devices highlighted 
below are being displayed without errors. Please note that the exact 
name of the device may be different. If the HDD belonging to the 
duplicator is not displayed, then the Image Manager program will 
display the above error.
3. If the HDD is being properly recognized in Windows, try exiting USB 
Mode and then scroll to the Setup menu, press ENTER and then scroll 
to the Format HDD submenu option and press ENTER to format the 
HDD.  Please note that any information on the HDD will be erased. If 
the HDD needs to be reformatted, the reason may be because the power 
was cut while the drive was in use.
