Storage Manager

The Storage Manager allows you to view information about the storage devices that are present in the Omnii,
such as SD-MMC flash cards and Compact Flash cards.

Formatting a Memory Card

Formatting a memory card bulk-erases it. Once a card is erased, partitions may be created in it, similarly to
those on a hard drive. Memory-card devices are normally mounted (made available to the system) automati-
cally when they are inserted. They must be dismounted before they can be formatted.
To format an entire memory card:
1. Select Start> Settings>Control Panel.
2. In Control Panel, double-click on the Storage Manager icon. The Storage Manager menu opens:
1. Select the memory card from the drop-down list.
2. Press the Dismount button to dismount the memory card. All partitions on the card will be dismounted.
3. Press the Format button to format the memory card.
All partitions and information on the card will be erased during the formatting process.

Creating Partitions

Once the card is formatted, new partitions can be created in it. The default is to create one partition that occu-
pies the whole card, but a card can be divided into more than one partition if desired. Each partition appears as
a separate folder in Windows Explorer.
To create new partitions:
1. Press the New button next to the Partitions list box. The Create New Partition dialog box appears:
