Do not format Memory Stick media for Sony handheld with any application
other than MS Gate. Otherwise, the Memory Stick media might not work
correctly.
When you insert a Memory Stick media that was initialized by another
device, a dialog box appears asking if you want to format the Memory Stick
media. If you format it, you can use the Memory Stick media in your Sony
handheld. Note however, that all the data already stored on that Memory
Stick media will be deleted.
With some HACK software (e.g., DA software, etc.), your Sony handheld
might not recognize that a Memory Stick media is removed or inserted.
Close these applications when you use Memory Stick media.
