Using the memory card reader
You can use the optional memory card reader to transfer
pictures from a digital camera to your computer. You can also
use the memory card reader to transfer data between your
computer and a device that uses memory cards, such as a PDA,
MP3 player, or cellular telephone. (Your computer’s memory
card reader may look different.)
Memory card types
The memory card reader supports several memory card types.
To determine which types are supported by your card reader
and the slots to use for each type of card, examine the face
plate of the reader. Each slot is assigned a different drive letter
(for example, the E: and F: drives) so data can be transferred
from one memory card type to another.
Using a memory card
To insert a memory card:
1
Insert the memory card into the appropriate memory
card slot.
2
To access a file on the memory card, click ( Start ),
then click Computer . Double-click the drive letter (for
example, the
E:
drive), then double-click the file name.
Caution
Before inserting a memory card into a slot, make sure that the slot is
empty, or you could damage the card reader.
