Formatting Cards
Formatting a PC Card HDD with this unit must be done in Copy mode, not PC mode (USB
connection). However, if the disk has multiple partitions created on a device, such as a
notebook PC, formatting on this unit will restore the disk to a single par tition (factory default).
To avoid this, use the same device used previously to format the card.
Windows 95/98 has a FDISK.EXE utility for managing disk partitions, but it must never be
used to partition a PC Card HDD. Otherwise, the storage capacity of the PC Card HDD will be
repor ted incorrectly, and it will no longer work properly. Also, do not use Windows 95/98 to
format a PC Card HDD that contains multiple partitions or data in other partitions of the disk
may become corrupted, and any saved data may become unusable.
Only the first partition of a multi partition disk created on a separate device, such as a
notebook PC will be recognized.
Also avoid formatting other types of PC Cards using PC mode (USB connection), otherwise
the format may not be mutually recognizable by the computer and the unit, or data corruption
may occur. Always use the unit to format PC Cards.
When a card is formatted, all data saved on the card is irreversibly deleted.
Check the card storage capacity and any data stored on the card, then copy important data
to another drive or card before formatting. Also, since some files types can only be displayed
on a PC, use a PC to check card contents.
When using this unit to format cards, use only the correct type of card. Always check card
storage capacity and any stored data before formatting.
YES
NO
The product numbers for cards that can be formatted using the unit are given below.
Card product numbers not listed cannot be formatted (as of Oct. 1, 2002).
