Cleaning Stand-Alone Drives

Reusing Media with Failed Content Verification

Cleaning Stand-Alone Drives

Cause: A stand-alone drive indicates that the drive requires cleaning.

Solution: You must manually clean the stand-alone drives, whenever necessary. The Clean Drive option is not available for stand-alone drives (see Drive Cleaning for more information). However, after manually cleaning the stand-alone drives, you must mark the drive as cleaned as described in Mark a Drive as Cleaned . This will reset the counters that keep track of the number of drive events that have occurred since the drive was cleaned.
