Formatting an SD card
If you want to format your SD card, you may do so using
Windows
®
operating system formats such as FAT16, FAT32,
or NTFS. After formatting is complete, there is a possibility
that the SD card may become unusable on some devices
which have an SD card slot.
If you want to use the card on more than one device, make
sure the devices all support the format you have selected. To
verify, check with the device’s documentation.
NOTE: Multi Media Cards (MMCs) are not supported by this
product.
Stopping or removing the SD card after formatting
If you have formatted the SD card drive with the Windows
®
operating system format (see Formatting an SD Card in the
preceding section), you may be unable to stop or eject your
card. If this occurs, try restarting the computer.
Using Standby or Hibernate while using the SD card
It is recommended that you do not select Standby or
Hibernation mode while an SD card is in use. If you do so,
your system may not enter Standby or Hibernation mode,
some tasks may become unresponsive, and the operating
system may not shut down properly. If this occurs, reset your
computer by holding down the power button for four seconds.
Removing an SD card
Before removing an SD card from the SD slot, close any
applications which utilize the SD card. Use the eject utility to
ensure that the card is ready to be removed. Once the activity
indicator light has turned off, you may safely remove the
card.
