Formatting A "Memory Stick - Sony ICD-BM1 Service Manual

Formatting a "Memory Stick"

You can format a "Memory Stick" using the Memory Stick IC Recorder.
Formatting will delete all data recorded in the "Memory Stick" including
images and other data. Before formatting, check the data in the "Memory
Stick".
Because a commercially available "Memory Stick" has already been
formatted at the factory, you do not need to format a "Memory Stick"
before the first use.
The supplied "Memory Stick" has also already been formatted.
