appropriate utility provided with the TOSHIBA notebook and not the standard
format process within Windows.
In order to run TOSHIBA SD memory card format, click Windows Start button,
point to All Programs, point to TOSHIBA, point to Utilities and click SD

The TOSHIBA SD Memory Card Format utility does not format the protected
area of an SD memory card. If you wish to apply a complete format of the device
you will need to use an application that operates correctly with the copy
protection system.
