I used it for a semester in the 2016/17 school year to help manage pictures in my yearbook class, then packed it up and put it on a shelf. I want to check it out now - either sell it or start using it again. When I last used it, one of my students was an expert at using it, so I did not have to learn much about it at all. My questions:
- It takes 5 minutes to boot up. Is that normal? It is not hooked up to any network now.
- When it finally boots up, the screen says “you must install HD Station before using HDMI output function.” Is this what I should see? How do I erase the 2x1 tb hard drives and have it blank for the new use/user (still not sure what I will do).
- Is the operating system on one of the 2 disks? or is it stored in a chip? Can I take the 2 hard drives out, connect them to another computer and erase them?
