Test Drive Your Equipment
We advise that you put all of your equipment through a dry run before transferring
important or irreplacable files. This will not only insure that your equipment is function-
ing, but will also familliarize you with the transfer process.
Copy a few files to the CompactFlash Card using your camera or CF device. Then
insert the card into the Reader and use the transfer method you are most comfortalble
with – drag and drop, copy and paste, etc. Some devices, such as MP3 players, use a
proprietary format and require third party software to access files. Refer to the device
manual for information. Once the files are stored on your hard drive, access them one
at a time and check that they are to your satisfaction. Experiment until you are happy
with the results and comfortable with the process. Then you can simply delete the test
files from the card or reformat in the CF device to return it to its original state.
