z What is formatting
Formatting defines the recording format for the Memory Stick media so that you can
access data with your Sony handheld.
Notes
• When you format Memory Stick media on which data is already stored, that data will
be deleted. Be mindful that you do not delete important data by mistake.
• Be sure to use your Sony handheld to format Memory Stick media if you intend to use
it with your Sony handheld. If you use the computer to format Memory Stick media for
use with a Sony handheld, some data may not be accessed correctly.
• If you failed to initialize the Memory Stick media as a result of pulling out it during
initialization or other, the Memory Stick media is not recognized with your computer.
In this case, remove the Memory Stick media and reinstall it, then initialize it again.
