Formatting An Sd Card; Using Standby Or Hibernate While Using The Sd Card; Removing An Sd Card - Toshiba Portégé M100 Series User Manual

Stopping or removing the SD card after formatting

card. If this occurs, try restarting the computer.

system may not shut down properly. If this occurs, reset your
computer by holding down the power button for four seconds.
