SD card

Secure Digital flash memory cards with various memory capacities. SD
cards let you easily transfer data from devices, such as digital cameras and
Personal Digital Assistants, that use SD card flash-memory. The cards
have a high level of security and copy protection features.
Formatting a 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.
