What should I do if I cannot find any memory card icons in the Computer window?
The Memory Stick Duo icon and the SD / MMC icon do not appear in the Computer window before you insert either of the
media. Insert a Memory Stick or a memory card. It may take some time but both icons eventually appear in the Computer
window.
What should I do if I cannot use a Memory Stick that was formatted on a VAIO computer
on other devices?
You may need to reformat your Memory Stick.
Formatting a Memory Stick erases all data, including music data previously saved on it. Before you reformat a Memory Stick,
back up important data and confirm that the Memory Stick does not contain files you want to keep.
1 Copy the data from the Memory Stick onto your built-in storage device to save data or images.
2 Format the Memory Stick by following the steps in Formatting a Memory Stick (page 37).
Can I copy images from a digital camera using a Memory Stick?
Yes, and you can view video clips that you have recorded with Memory Stick-compatible digital cameras.
Why can't I write data to a Memory Stick?
Some versions of the Memory Stick are equipped with an erasure prevention switch to protect data from accidental erasure
or overwriting. Make sure the erasure prevention switch is off.
