Formatting an SD card

SD memory cards are sold already formatted in conformity to specific
standards. If you format the SD card again, be sure to format it with the
TOSHIBA SD Memory Card Format utility, not with the format commands
provided within Windows.
In order to run TOSHIBA SD Memory Card Format, click start, point to All
Programs, point to TOSHIBA, point to Utilities and click SD Memory
Card Format.
The TOSHIBA SD Memory Card Format utility does not format the
protected area of the SD memory card. Should you need to format all areas
of the memory card, including the protected area, you will need to obtain an
appropriate application that applies the copy protection system.
