Formatting a Card on a PC

2.To transfer files between your computer and a card, use the basic Windows file transfer functions. For example, drag and drop or copy and paste files from your computer to a card or from a card to your computer.

Important: The Universal Reader/Writer’s left slot accepts only one of the four supported media types at a time. You can insert either SmartMedia, Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard, or Memory Stick media into the left slot of the Universal Reader/Writer at any one time. However, you can use both the CompactFlash slot (right slot) and the left slot concurrently.

Sometimes it may be more convenient to format a digital media card in the Universal 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 Universal Reader/Writer, follow the steps below.

Caution: Formatting a CompactFlash, SmartMedia, MultiMediaCard, Secure Digital, or Memory Stick card completely erases any data stored 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.
