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.
