SD memory cards
Q. The “Not formatted” or “Not initialized” error message appears when I insert an
SD card, CF card or other memory card with a memory capacity exceeding 32MB
into a digital camera or other device even though the card has been formatted,
and I cannot use the card.
A. To format an SD card, CF card or other memory card with a memory capacity exceeding
32MB in this PC, the “FAT” file system rather than the “FAT32” file system must be selected
on the Windows XP formatting screen. By formatting cards in this way, they can be used
with digital cameras and other such devices.
*When a memory card is to be formatted, be absolutely sure to first back up its contents
onto the PC’s hard disk, etc. When formatting is executed, all the information stored on
the card will be erased.
