Memory media format

New media cards are formatted according to specific standards. If you wish

to reformat a media card, be sure to do so with a device that uses media

cards.

Formatting an SD/SDHC memory card

SD/SDHC memory cards are sold already formatted in conformity to

specific standards. If you format the SD/SDHC memory card again, be sure

to format it with the TOSHIBA SD Memory Card Format utility, not with the

format command provided by Windows.
In order to run the TOSHIBA SD Memory Card Format utility, click Start 

All Programs  TOSHIBA  Utilities  SD Memory Card Format.

The TOSHIBA SD Memory Card Format utility does not format the

protected area of the SD/SDHC memory card - if you need to format all

areas of the memory card, including the protected area, you will need to

obtain an appropriate application that applies the copy protection system.

You should place a mat beneath the computer in order to prevent the

computer's lid from becoming scratched or damaged when you are

installing/replacing the memory module. In this instance you should

avoid mats that are made of materials that hold or generate static

electricity.

When installing or removing a memory module, you must ensure that

you do not touch any other internal areas of the computer.
