Copying Files

Start Windows 98, double-click the My Computer icon to open the My
Computer window. There, you will see a Removable Disk icon. (The
specific drive letter assigned to the PhotoReader will vary (D, E, and so
on), depending on your particular system configuration).
You may now copy files from your card reader to the hard disk as you
would from a floppy disk. Drag the icons for the data to be copied and
release the mouse button over the destination disk.

Formatting Cards

result in your digital camera being unable to recognize a card. Do Not

camera. Format cards when you intend to use them to exchange data
between USB Series readers or between readers and notebook computers.

1. Right click on the Removable Disk icon. Choose the desired format
from the display menu.
2. The dialog box shown below appears. Select Ordinary Format and press
the Start button.
3. Once format is complete, the card is ready for use.
