To format a data storage card

If you insert a new data storage card (called a "disk") into a card slot (drive D
or E), you may have to format it (prepare it to store data). If the card is a
disk that's already formatted, you might have additional formatting options,
such as making it a compressed disk.
Read and follow the instructions that come with the PC data storage
card.
