To format a memory card
When using the memory card for the rst 
time, you must format the card before 
using it.
Formatting a card deletes all data 
saved on the card. If the card 
includes data, backup the data 
before formatting it.
1
  Click Start > Computer.
(For Windows XP, click Start > My 
Computer.)
2
  Right-click over a card drive with the 
touchpad and select Format.
3
  Click Start to the formatting.
 To use a card to exchange data 
with a digital device such as a 
digital camera, formatting the 
data using the digital device is 
recommended.
 When you try to use a card, which 
is formatted in the computer, in 
another digital device, you may 
have to format the card again in 
the device.
 You cannot format, write or delete 
data from a SD, or SDHC card 
with a write protection tab when it 
is in the Lock position.
 Inserting and removing a memory 
card repeatedly may damage the 
memory card.
