Working With Digital Images; Introducing The Memory Card Reader - HP Compaq Presario,Presario SR1005 Getting Started Manual

Working with Digital Images

You can connect a digital image source, such as a digital camera or a digital
video camera, directly to the PC or through a docking station. Digital picture files
you copy or download from the device appear in the My Pictures folder. You can
copy digital picture files from the memory cards used by digital cameras and other
digital imaging devices by using the memory card reader (select models only).
Refer to "Introducing the memory card reader" on page 39.

Introducing the memory card reader

Digital cameras and other digital imaging devices use memory cards, or media, to
store digital picture files. The optional memory card reader (select models only)
can read and write to a variety of types of memory cards and the IBM Microdrive
disk drive.
The card reader is accessible directly on the front of the PC or located inside a
cover. It has four horizontal card slots, which accept the memory cards and the
Microdrive disk drive.

You can place media in one or more of the card slots and use each media
independently. Place only one piece of media in a slot at one time.
Each card slot has its own drive letter and icon. When you insert media, the
display label may change to the title of the media, if the title is present.

CAUTION: Do not click Stop in the Safely Remove Hardware
window with the USB Mass Storage Device selected. Doing so
removes the operating system recognition of the memory card
reader from your PC; you must restart the PC to see your memory
card reader again.
If you open the Safely Remove Hardware window by mistake, click Close.
