A corrupt file on your CompactFlash Card can cause a device failure or system
crash when transferring files to your computer. Recovery programs such as
Scandisk can be used to detect and repair most disk errors. It may also be
necessary to re-format the card, which will erase all files stored on the card. Some
of the causes of file corruption are:
> Unsteady power supply while transferring files, such as a low camera battery or
improperly connected reader.
> Card removed from reader or camera, or any other type of interruption while
transfering or accessing files.
> Improperly formatted card.

2000, ME, 98 Drive Letter Assignment
The following procedure may be necessary when installing the Delkin Reader-12 onto a
computer connected to other computers over a network server. In some cases, the
computer may assign the Reader-12 a drive letter that has already been assigned to
another drive, such as a network drive. This usually occurs after re-booting the com-
puter with the Reader-12 connected. To avoid this conflict, the Reader-12 can be
assigned an available drive letter after you connect it to the computer but before re-
booting. For more information, contact your network administrator. If your computer is
not connected to a network, and there are no drive letter conflicts, these steps will not
be necessary.
