Formatting a Card on a PC
Sometimes it may be more convenient to format a card in the Digital Media HS Reader/
Writer rather than in your original digital device. In some cases, your device may not have
a format option, or you may be required or prompted to format a card. To format a digital
media card in the Digital Media HS Reader/Writer, follow the steps below.
Caution: Formatting a card completely erases any data on the card. If there are important
images or files you want to safeguard for later use, save a backup copy on your hard drive,
CD-R drive, or other type of removable media before formatting a card.
Note: The screens below differ slightly for each of the supported operating systems, but
the procedure for formatting a card is the same.
1. Insert a card in the Digital Media HS Reader/Writer, as explained earlier in this guide.
2. Open My Computer, as shown on page 23, and right-click on the Removable Disk icon
A pop-up menu appears.
3. Select Format in the pop-up menu.
The Format window appears for your operating system.
Windows XP and 2000 Format Window
