!
Be sure to hold the Memory Stick media with the arrow pointing in the correct direction as you insert it into the slot. To avoid damaging your computer
or the Memory Stick media, do not force the Memory Stick media into the slot if you cannot insert it smoothly.
Do not insert more than one Memory Stick media into the slot. Inserting the media improperly may damage your computer.

To format a Memory Stick media
Use the Memory Stick Formatter software. See the help file on the Memory Stick Formatter software for details.
!
Formatting the Memory Stick media erases the entire data on the media. Avoid accidental erasure of your valuable data.
Do not remove the Memory Stick media from the slot while formatting the media. This could cause a malfunction.
Be sure to use the preinstalled Memory Stick Formatter software to format a Memory Stick media. In case the media is formatted with the formatting
function of the Windows operating system, the media cannot be recognized by other Memory Stick devices.
