Using the Memory Card Reader

(Select models only)

Your computer may come with a multi-format memory card reader (optional, select models only). Digital cameras and other digital imaging devices use memory cards, or media, to store digital picture files. The memory card reader can read from and write to a variety of types of memory cards and the IBM Microdrive disk drive.

The card reader is accessible directly on the front of the computer. It has two or four horizontal card slots which accept the media.

You can place media in one or more of the card slots and use each media independently. Place only one piece of media in a slot at one time.

Each card slot has its own drive letter and icon. When you insert media, the display label may change to the title of the media, if a title is available.

When you insert media, the Safely Remove Hardware window may appear. If it opens, or if you open the Safely Remove Hardware window by mistake, click Close.

CAUTION: Do not click Stop in the Safely Remove Hardware window with the USB Mass Storage Device selected. Doing so removes the operating system recognition of the memory card reader from your computer, and you must restart the computer to see the memory card reader again.
