Formatting a Card on a PC
Sometimes it may be more convenient to format a digital media card in the ZiO HS
Reader/Writer rather than in your original digital device. In some cases, your device may
not have a format option, or you may be required or prompted to format a card. To format
a digital media card in the ZiO HS Reader/Writer, follow the steps below.
Caution:
Formatting a card completely erases any data on the card. If there are impor tant
images or files you want to safeguard for later use, save a backup copy on your hard drive,
CD-R drive, or other type of removable media
before formatting a card.
