Do not choose a USB disk, Sony i.LINK CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, or Sony i.LINK DVD-ROM drive.

(Windows Me only) If you choose to remove a USB disk, the internal Memory Stick becomes disabled. Follow these steps to reactivate the USB disk:

1.Open the Start menu and select Settings then Control Panel.

2.Double-click the System icon to access the System Properties window.

3.Click the Device Manager tab then click the Refresh button.

4.In the “Stop a Hardware device” dialog box, confirm that the device can be safely removed from the system.

If you removed a Sony i.LINK CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive or Sony i.LINK DVD- ROM drive by mistake, disconnect the docking station and reconnect it. See “Disconnecting the Notebook from the Docking Station” for details.

✍In some cases, if your notebook alternates between normal power operation and power saving mode while the PC card is inserted, the computer may not recognize the connected device. In such a case, reboot your notebook to correct the problem.
